Star Spangled Heroes – Share your story and win!
Fearless acts of bravery. Profound loyalty. Unconditional love.
Whether it’s going into harms way to protect a loved one or staying by their side through rough
times, dogs do amazing things. They are extraordinarily unselfish beings. And sometimes, their acts
are nothing less than heroic.
We created this space to honor those dogs who have shown their courage and loyalty to others
whether that be humans or fellow animals. Is your dog a hero? Send us your story and your dog
will become part of the Star Spangled Heroes Dog Hall of Fame!

United States War Dogs Association, Inc.
www.uswardogs.org
The United States War Dogs Association, Inc. is a
nonprofit organization of former and current U.S.
Military Dog Handlers and supporting members
committed to promoting the long history of the Military
Service Dogs, establishing permanent War Dog
Memorials and educating the public about the
invaluable service of these canines to our country.
Military Working Dogs have been used by the U.S. Military since World War I. American
families donated their dogs to the military to aid our troops during wartime. Dogs, along with
their volunteer handlers, trained in teams as scouts, trackers, sentry, mine/booby-trap/tunnel
and water detection of hostile forces. Dogs were used in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian
Gulf, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Public Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) was
founded in 1976. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization considered to be one of Ohio’s most
reputable long-standing cat and dog humane rescue
groups.
Our group is dedicated to the rescue of pets in
Northeastern Ohio. Our mission is to rescue stray
and/or abused cats and dogs and place them in good
homes. It is a PAWS policy to adopt animals to
responsible homes only in the greater Cleveland area. We provide medical care to rescued animals
and foster them in our own homes. We also make sure that they are spayed or neutered so that
they do not continue the cycle of births that result in more pets than homes. The advantage of
adopting a fostered animal is that we know all about our adoptable pets! They have lived with us
and we know their personalities, habits, likes and dislikes. We can help you find the perfect
companion for your home and lifestyle!

East Coast
Assistance Dogs

|
East Coast Assistance Dogs was founded by Lu and Dale Picard. Prior to founding ECAD, Lu
helped several business organizations in their startup efforts and gained experience in business
and administration. When her father suffered a stroke, she saw how much he hated being
dependent on her. She taught their family pet to help him rise from a chair and retrieve some items,
and noticed that her dad actually became more active and less depressed than when all his help
came from a human. Lu saw first hand how Service Dogs could change people's lives, and in 1995
quit her full-time job to start ECAD. One year later, her husband Dale also gave up his own
business to work full time for ECAD. Dale was self-employed for many years and developed skills
and talents that he put to good use in helping Lu establish ECAD. He purchased land in
Connecticut, constructed kennels and offices, and redesigned the house in which Lu, Dale, and
their two daughters lived. Read more here…
