Why not a leash?

Leashmaking brings Veterans, Veteran caregivers, Veteran families, and community members together to build strong communities of support—one leash at a time.
Making a leash is the thing that brings us together: to laugh, to cry, to support one another, and to allow the communities we live in to meet and support us.

Really, it could be anything, but, for us, it’s a leash. And we have no shortage of Veterans who want one, so we keep making them. To us, it does it matter why it works, just that it works.

Our goal is a conversation

Our goal is to initiate conversations, and making leashes is a catalyst to conversation.
The leash is the byproduct of those conversations—not the goal—so we give the leashes to Veterans, service dogs, retiring military dogs, & first responders.
Wounds of war can create distance and isolation, but making leashes connects Veteran-caregiving families with the communities they live in. It is an opportunity to learn together, laugh about failures, and find common ground. When there are no words, we just listen.

Join us!

Together we will build strong communities of support, one leash at a time!
