Prince William Humane Society of Prince William County, VA today announced it has been awarded a $7500 grant from the Petco Foundation to support its Warrior Buddies, Wounded Heroes Program that matches homeless shelter dogs with wounded service members and trains them to the specific needs of that wounded hero, ultimately becoming a therapy or service dog team.

Prince William Humane Society is a nonprofit organization that has been serving Prince William County, VA since 2012.  Prince William Humane Society is an all-volunteer organization whose express mission is promoting animal welfare and adoption for the homeless pets located in Prince William County, VA.  This goal is accomplished by advocating for the homeless animals, supporting adoption programs, providing financial assistance when possible and elevating public awareness.  The Prince William Humane Society helps support animal welfare organizations; including the Prince William County Animal Shelter and works diligently to help save lives by creating and implementing new programs designed to reduce euthanasia and substantially increase adoptions.

HomeAid Northern Virginia hosted their fifth annual “Night at the Ballpark” last week.

The organization partnered with businesses and other community organizations to send more than 300 homeless children to a Potomac Nationals game at Pfitzner stadium on August 14.

Over the coming weeks, the Prince William Republican Committee is conducting a back-to-school supply drive to benefit the County’s neediest students, and the Committee Chairman invites the community to join the service project.

Any Prince William County resident can participate in the Committee’s Community Service Initiative no matter what their political affiliation is. This community service project is part of a year-long Community Service Initiative that has become a focus for Prince William Republicans.
