Window World Proud to Sponsor Dogs for Veterans

Partnership with America’s Vet Dogs to Raise Companions for Vets

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Window World®, America’s largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, is pleased to announce its partnership with America’s VetDogs in training service dogs to be companions for veterans. America’s VetDogs is a New York-based national nonprofit that provides specially trained service dogs to veterans, first responders, and active-duty service members with disabilities.

Josh and Tara Reed, along with Dave and Taunia Reed of Window World of Tidewater, are proudly sponsoring “Ace,” a beautiful puppy who will be raised by Josie Hunt. Additionally, Pat and Angie Moran of Window World of Youngstown will sponsor the noble puppy “Liberty,” who will be trained by Trish Powers. The dogs will undergo 15 months of proper training before they are paired with a military veteran, corresponding with their needs and disability.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with America’s VetDogs, which perfectly complements our Window World Military Initiative,” said Tammy Whitworth, CEO and Chairman of Window World. “This initiative not only underscores our commitment to empowering veterans and first responders but also embodies the spirit of community involvement that defines Window World. By nurturing these puppies, we are directly contributing to the incredible mission of America’s VetDogs, helping to ensure that these future service dogs will provide essential support and companionship to those who have bravely served our country.”

“Through this collaboration, we’re expanding our impact and helping to transform the lives of heroes who have sacrificed so much for our nation,” added Jamie McBride, board member and Window World corporate sponsor. “America’s VetDogs’ mission to provide highly skilled service dogs at no cost to veterans and first responders resonates deeply with our values. Together, we’re not just changing lives; we’re ensuring that those who’ve served can live with the independence and dignity they deserve.”
