Nylabone, an industry-leading creator of innovative dog chew
toys, chew treats, and dental solutions since 1955, has partnered
with American Humane and its Pups4Patriots™ program to
provide chew toys to dogs being trained to provide lifesaving
assistance to military veterans.
American Humane’s Pups4Patriots program matches qualified rescue
dogs with veterans suffering from serious—but often unseen—mental
or physical trauma such as post-traumatic stress (PTS) and
traumatic brain injury (TBI). Every year, more than 6,000 veterans
struggling with invisible wounds of war take their own lives, and
nearly 700,000 dogs in U.S. shelters are euthanized. The
Pups4Patriots mission saves human and animal lives by helping dogs
and veterans find the security and companionship they deserve.
“The Nylabone family holds the utmost respect for those who have
served our country, which is why we’re honored to support American
Humane in its mission to connect brave veterans with loving dogs
who need a second chance,” said Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO
of Nylabone Products. “We want all of the veterans and animals in
the program to experience the sheer joy that dogs and people can
bring each other.”
Robin Ganzert, Ph.D., American Humane president and CEO said,
“These service dogs are helping to address wounded warriors’ stress
and anxiety and allowing them to heal. We value Nylabone’s
contribution to this important program that is saving lives on both
ends of the leash.”
As American Humane and the Pups4Patriots program rescues and
trains dogs, Nylabone’s chew toy donations help these canines ease
the transition to their new forever homes. The chew toys also
provide comfort to dogs in shelters, preventing destructive chewing
behaviors associated with anxiety and boredom and supporting them
as they cope with the stresses of adapting to a new
environment.
Nylabone supports and donates to a variety of dog shelters,
animal welfare groups, and canine service organizations through the
Nylabone Cares program. Part of this initiative is giving shelter
dogs the behavioral tools they need to thrive in their forever
homes, encouraging healthy chewing habits, and helping reduce
stress.
