Second we have Mike Gibb from K9 Hero Heaven which began in 2011adopting and rescuing retired law enforcement and military dogs, some of which we saved from being euthanized. We have saved these dogs from all over the US. These dogs have issues both with medical and behavior that make them difficult to adopt into a normal household. We worked on rehabilitating them over time. In August of 2015 we started a program adopting retired military dogs who served overseas to combat veterans as companion dogs. My husband being an 8 year Army veteran and a veteran of Iraqi Freedom we wanted to start a program to provide help to veterans. Finally we have some of the members involved with the movie Project 22 that will be coming on the air to speak with up about the movie and some of the current events pertaining to it.
