(From KGCS)Dog breeding is routine business in Missouri, but what happens when a breeding dog is ready to retire? A Dog’s Dream is a veteran run non-profit working to transition pure bred dogs to become pets ready for adoption.
Pure bred dogs are also utilized to help local veterans as service animals through another charity called Heartland Canines for Veterans. Both non-profit groups will be featured in the next Newsmakers program.
