2023 German American Club Dinner supporting Boots & Paws


Boots & Paws

Boots & Paws provides free companion dogs to veterans & first responders.

Dog ownership provides therapeutic benefits, including reducing stress & anxiety, easing depression & loneliness, and encouraging regular exercise.

In addition to their companionship, dogs can help commit owners to routines, create a sense of purpose & accomplishment, and facilitate social interactions.

Support

Most of our companion dogs are provided thanks to the generous support of sponsors, who (individually or as a group) contribute $5000.

The sponsorship package covers the dog along with a comprehensive care package, and a 12 month timeline of financial & expert support. Our staff has a regular cadence of follow-ups with each guardian to ensure they and their dog are doing well.

We bring guardian recipients from near & far to be paired with their new pups. As often as possible, sponsors join us for these awardings, which is a powerful opportunity for connection for everyone involved.
