We'd like to thank Dover Elks Lodge #1903 for inviting CASH to their annual Quarter Auction. It was a very well organized and entertaining event. In addition to the generous patrons, the Lodge donated their half of the 50/50 to our program. We are fortunate to be supported by an organization that does so much for our community, especially its Veterans.

Thank you to everyone who donated and showed your support for our veteran Elizabeth and her service dog, Cash. Here’s a post-surgery update:

Cash had surgery on a mass near his right eye, and while it went well, we’re still awaiting biopsy results. The surgical team made sure Cash felt extra special, decorating his cone of shame with a Vietnam Service Ribbon to honor his service for today’s veterans. Just zoom in to see the pride in his face! He is now home resting in great care with Elizabeth.

Your kindness and support make a difference every day. 💙

🐾 Meet Chief, a 6-year-old Chocolate Lab and dedicated service dog for US Army Veteran David White. Chief plays a vital role in supporting David with his combat-related injuries and is a cherished member of his family. 🐾

Chief now needs two critical surgeries to repair CCL tears in both knees. These surgeries are expensive, totaling over $12,000. Thankfully, Canines Assisting Service Heroes (C.A.S.H.) is committed to covering 100% of each dog’s healthcare for life, easing this financial burden for our veterans.

This surgery is essential for Chief’s comfort and health, and it ensures he can continue his life-changing work with David. Please consider contributing to this cause to help Chief get the care he needs.
