What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“There are about a million estimated stray dogs in the Houston area alone,” said Paige Bradshaw with Sauver Des Chiens German Shepherd Rescue. “German Shepherds are the most dumped dogs.”<\/p>\n

Since 2016, Sauver Des Chiens German Shepherd Rescue has saved and found homes for almost 1,000 dogs.<\/p>\n

“We try to rescue dogs that are in dire situations, and most of the time, that’s going to be on the streets,” Bradshaw said.<\/p>\n

Now Sauver Des Chiens, which is French for save the dogs, has a new initiative, save two lives at once.<\/p>\n

“We actually have an amazing program through the Marine Corp Council of Southeast Texas called Paws for Vets,” said Bradshaw.<\/p>\n

“I was in the Army for 12 and a half years,” said Luis Rivera.<\/p>\n

Rivera got his dog, Beau, through SDC German Shepherd Rescue.<\/p>\n

“I have PTSD. I was diagnosed in 2014,” he said. “The beautiful thing about him is the connection we have.”<\/p>\n

“We want to pair veterans with companion dogs and cover the adoption fee,” Bradshaw said.<\/p>\n
