Dear Friend,

Happy Holidays! The most important message we have in this last issue of 2017 is, "Thank You!" Your love, support, and effort in spreading awareness of our mission has helped make this a momentous year. In January, we'll have our annual program report ready to share so you can see how many veterans graduated, how many dogs were saved, and many other numbers to show how this program is making an impact. Now, please enjoy your year-end K9 Connect, with content we hope will warm your heart.

In Case You Missed It...

Graduate team Kevin & Bella, St. Augustine residents, came home to a winter wonderland surprise, thanks to Florida Power & Light. Volunteers from the power company adorned Kevin's home with lights and other decorations, and provided him and his wife with a substantial gift card to give them a boost in repairing their hurricane-damaged home. Watch the surprise here.

Camp K9 News

A dozen sponsors and volunteers helped decorate Camp K9 during our annual Christmas tree sponsorship, bringing festive cheer to everyone on campus. 

Warrior Update

In late 2016, Louis's family grew with the addition of his service dog, Star. Shortly after the team graduated and returned home, Louis and his wife welcomed a fourth addition to their family - a son!

Louis and his wife just sent us this cute photo of their son's first meeting with Santa. Star is smiling away by his side, as she's done since the day he was born.

"Star was in the delivery room during the birth of our son. She is a true professional; it is amazing to witness her composure and patience when our son is engaged with her. My family has a lot of good opportunities in our future all because of Star, and thanks to K9s For Warriors' support and belief in me. God Bless everyone during this holiday season and stay safe!" 

Sincerely,
CPT Louis A. Belluomini, Paramedic
