Fenway Bark is very touched by the outreach of many of its future clients and the support we have received from so many as we work through permitting issues in South Boston.
We don't want to have the permitting situation distract us from communicating to you who we are, what we are about, and what we believe in.
Today we are pleased to share with you that we have a partnership with NEADS, an important organization that places dogs with deaf and disabled Americans. NEADS has many important programs, one of which is to place specially trained dogs with combat veterans needing assistance. To learn more, please see the CBS news regarding NEADS. You can also visit the NEADS website.
If, as a dog lover, you are looking for a meaningful charity to support this holiday season, we highly suggest you look further into NEADS as a charity worth supporting.
Happy Holidays from Jane, Jim, Corky, Mojo, Tasso, and Dutch!
Helping combat veterans is a topic near and dear to my heart. If we can't help out someone who risked their life and endured terrible suffering in the service of our country, what does that say about us as a people? Sometimes our veterans who depend on these service dogs for hearing, sight, or support while walking are told to leave businesses, barred from restaurants, or well meaning people mistake these working dogs as pets and distract them while they are working. People need to be better educated about the roles that service dogs fill, be more understanding and welcoming of these wonderful animals. I support this organization, and will do my part to make people aware of the need for this program.
