Join us and the Kent American Legion as we ruck to raise funds to connect veterans and first responders to service animals. All proceeds raised will go toward giving any veteran or first responder a pet for free from the Portage APL. All he or she must do is give a copy of their DD-214 as honorably served. For a First Responder show a badge or other criteria as to which city and unit he or she works (or worked) for. Each dog or cat will be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and chipped. Dependent on the funds available, some dogs can be trained for specific purposes.
