Helping Both Ends Of The Leash
At Paws of War, we believe in the healing power of companionship. Our mission is to bring together veterans, first responders and rescued animals, creating unbreakable bonds that foster healing and mutual understanding.
breaking news
In a groundbreaking step forward, Paws of War and Big Dog Ranch Rescue have secured the first release of 10 retired breeding beagles from Marshall BioResources, giving each of these dogs the chance for adoption. Five will remain with Paws of War on Long Island, while five will enter the care of Big Dog Ranch Rescue in South Florida.
This is only the beginning. Our organizations are counting on the release of many, many more dogs.
When they are ready, the five beagles with Paws of War will be adopted by Veterans, Active-Military, First Responders and Gold Star Families. Their new lives will be filled with purpose, companionship and the love of families who understand just how powerful that bond can be.
Please support us in this mission as the dogs prepare for their new lives!

our mission
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering of veterans, first responders and their families, particularly those battling invisible wounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), by providing them with loyal service dogs that become not just companions but also catalysts for healing.
Simultaneously, we rescue and rehabilitate dogs and cats in dire straits, often plucking them from the brink of despair and giving them a new chance at life. Our reach extends into war-torn regions, reuniting military personnel with the animals they formed bonds with during service.
