Healing Paws For Heroes

A few years ago I met Kelley Williams of Healing Paws For Heroes at a community event in Ball Ground, GA. I guess that my memory of meeting Kelley is somewhat of a blurr since my family and I had just moved to the area and I was busy absorbing every detail possible, but I do remember that I especially enjoyed meeting Kelley and learning about her mission of putting her skills to use benefiting veterans that were in need of Service Dogs.

I follow Healing Paws For Heroes on facebook and though I have fallen hard for Gunner, I know he's doing well. His new friend Torqe is the problem. Healing Paws For Heroes accepted Torqe into the program to save this puppy's life. Torqe is a Shiloh Shepard.

The Shiloh Shepard is a cross breed of the German Shepard and other breeds. Although they are larger than German Shepherds they tend to be calmer than German Shepherds. The Shiloh breed is still under development and if this weren't enough of a problem for Torqe he was not in perfect health when he arrived at Healing Paws. This pup is going to need some medical attention before he is able to continue on with his training.

Please donate to help Healing Paws For Heroes. Every little bit helps Kelley provide for the care of the dogs that she has in training for veterans that need a companion Service Dog. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and thank you for your kindness to help Torqe with his new life.

Deputy sits in hot car for 25 minutes!

I am awed by the impression that this video made on me. The heat really gets to me so it's personal. I shared the video on the GHC facebook page and it reached record numbers. Yesterday I heard two reports of accidental heat stress reports. It wasn't even summer.

Today, June 21, 2015 is the first day of summer.

I commend Georgia's Forsyth County Sheriff's Office for allowing Officer Regan to take the time (and the risk) to create this video that gives a live report of what happens when a living being is left in an unattended vehicle.

Please remember to practice safety at all times and always check the seating and storage areas of your vehicle before leaving it unattended.
 
Please share.
