LISTEN: Town Talk/Leashes of Valor

Chris Bowers, Linda Palmer and Jason Haag say the growing demand for service dogs means Leashes of Valor urgently needs more foster families. To continue pairing highly trained dogs with veterans, the organization relies on dedicated volunteers like Linda, who reflects on her three years of hands-on involvement. Others help by filling in on weekends or when primary fosters travel — support that keeps the program moving forward. The team also previews upcoming fundraisers including Mutts & Mimosas on May 2, the Pro-Am, and Casino Night on May 9, and shares how you can get involved at leashesofvalor.org.
