Associa Renews Partnership With Patriot PAWS To Support Disabled Veterans For Third Consecutive Year
DALLAS — June 27, 2022 — Associa, the community management industry’s largest company, is proud to continue supporting America’s disabled veterans with its third consecutive year of sponsoring Patriot PAWS’ Service Dog awareness initiative. Associa funds donated to Patriot PAWS will help support the care and training of a service dog that will eventually help one of America’s disabled American Veterans restore their physical and emotional independence.
As part of its sponsorship, Associa team members will help name a future service dog. Company donations will go directly to supporting the day-to-day activities related to its care and training. In addition, Associa will continue to create awareness of the vital role service animals play in the lives of the Veterans they assist. Associa and Patriot PAWS work together to share facts about the training process and cost of service animals, laws protecting service dogs and their handlers and the role that these animals play in communities throughout North America.
Service dogs begin their journey at just 8-10 weeks old. Patriot PAWS service dogs-in-training learn more than 65 different commands specifically tailored to help with mobile disabilities or post-traumatic stress. The training process for each dog takes 18-24 months at a significant cost. Service animals trained by Patriot PAWS are provided to veterans in need at no cost.
“Associa thanks our veterans for their service this Independence Day and is proud to continue its support of those individuals who now require mental and physical support as a result of their contribution,” said Andrew Fortin, Associa senior vice president of external affairs. “If our efforts can make their lives easier we pleased to continue our involvement.”
