The Nylabone brand's donation will benefit American Humane's
mission to connect dogs and veterans in need. Far too often,
members of the armed forces suffering from the invisible wounds of
war—such as post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury—face
depression, social isolation, and other serious issues. The
Pups4Patriots™ program trains dogs needing homes to be companions
for veterans returning to civilian life, helping to reduce stress
and anxiety, mitigate depression, ease social reintegration,
provide comfort, and restore confidence.
“On a holiday that is dedicated to love, it’s only fitting to
celebrate the one-of-a-kind, lifechanging affection our furry
friends can provide,” said Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO of
Nylabone Products. “Offering the healing power of a dog’s loyalty
to our nation’s heroes when they need it most is critical, which is
why we’re so delighted to support our friends at American
Humane.”
The donation is the latest initiative that Nylabone has
participated in throughout its distinguished partnership with
American Humane, including a 2021 sponsorship to reunite Air Force
Staff Sergeant Dustin Reed and his retired military working dog,
Anjin. The company also makes ongoing chew toy donations to
American Humane that offer relief to dogs training as service
animals.
“Our Pups4Patriots program has saved countless lives by putting
healing leashes into the hands of veterans in need across the
country,” American Humane president and CEO Dr. Robin Ganzert said.
“We wouldn’t be able to do this lifesaving work without the
generosity of organizations like Nylabone, which has gone above and
beyond to serve our nation’s heroes after they’re finished serving
us. This donation will go directly toward helping veterans access
service dogs that allow them to live their lives to the absolute
fullest, and we can’t thank Nylabone enough for their support of
Pups4Patriots and our brave military members.”
This contribution from Nylabone supports the Central Garden
& Pet Impact strategy, which is dedicated to making positive
changes through philanthropic work, focusing on protecting our
planet, cultivating our communities and empowering our employees.
Nylabone further supports hundreds of non-profit animal welfare
organizations through its Nylabone Cares program. Committed to
helping dogs find and stay in their forever homes, Nylabone Cares
