“To Go Canine Care Kits” Give Veterans and Service Dogs Resources for their New Relationship at No Cost to the Veteran
L.E.B. Electric has made a generous donation to support Canine Companions’ Veterans Initiative, a program dedicated to providing service dogs—free of charge—to Veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This initiative not only helps restore independence but also provides vital physical assistance and emotional support to those who have served our country.
As part of this contribution, L.E.B. Electric is funding two To-Go Canine Care Kits, which are provided at no cost to the Veterans receiving a service dog. These kits include essential care items such as food and feeding supplies, grooming tools, bedding, toys, flea, tick, and heartworm medications, and a certified service dog vest for use in public settings.
Veterans with PTSD often face significant challenges adjusting to civilian life, particularly when navigating new disabilities. Canine Companions’ expertly trained service dogs can perform key physical tasks—such as retrieving dropped items, opening doors, assisting with prosthetics, and alerting individuals with hearing loss to important sounds. Equally impactful is the companionship, love, loyalty, and positivity these dogs provide, which can make a profound difference in the lives of Veterans coping with invisible wounds.
“Canine Companions does extraordinary work by providing highly trained service dogs to our nation’s heroes, helping them reclaim their independence and improve their quality of life,” said William Parker, President of L.E.B. Electric. “We are honored to support this mission and help supply Canine Care Kits so that Veterans can begin their journey with their new companions without financial burden.”
