The
Blue Star Families of Central Virginia War Dogs project shows support for the
most heroic, professional, and inspirational animals in the world: Military
Working Dogs (MWD)! All the service branches use military working dogs. They
are stationed around the world with their handlers in such places as Indonesia,
Germany, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Africa, and other locations.
They patrol bases, compounds, ammunition depots, and check points. They track
the enemy, perform bomb detection and support combat operations. They guard and
protect our military personnel with courage and loyalty.

The
War Dogs Project recognizes the importance of MWDs and their handlers to
overall troop safety and morale by making them recipients of special CARE
packages. Our program has a positive impact on the morale of both the MWD
handler, and the service members in their unit.
In
addition to standard CARE package items for the handler, the MWD gets items
such as KONGS and other heavy-duty chew toys, firehose pull toys, Jolly Pet
balls, Furminator and other grooming products,
special dog soap/shampoo, collapsible dog water bowls, salves for paws and
noses, K-9 toothpaste and brushes, and dog treats (made in the U.S.A. only.)
When requested, we also include items such as Doggles,
cooling mats, protective shoes, and muzzles.
