It’s a Happy Hour with dogs – what’s better than that??!!
Who can join us? Anyone… really, anyone!
Why? We are building communities of support and creating common ground,
one knot at a time.
If you are a Veteran, a military caregiver, or part of a military family, you can keep the 1st leash you make.
