JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Several organizations are joining forces this holiday season to help veterans by providing them a service dog.
The Jonesboro VFW Post 1991 received $100,000 in grants through the Federal CARES Act in November.
They decided to use $16,000 to pay Northeast Arkansas Humane Society and Michelle Hill’s Dog Training Academy to see the veteran dog project through.
“We said, ‘What better way to help a veteran in need than a service animal?’” Senior Vice Commander Robert Murphy asked.
