VERO BEACH – Dogs For Life, Inc., a nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of life for people by training dogs to assist with hearing and mobility challenges as well as the effects of post-traumatic stress disorders for veterans, has been selected to receive a donation from the Masco Corporation Foundation.
Through a competitive grant process, Dogs For Life was nominated by Masco Contractor Services, a subsidiary of Masco Corporation and leading installer of residential insulation and other residential building products.
This grant was made possible through Masco’s “America’s Heroes: A Million Thanks” veteran initiative, which is targeting more than $1 million in support to more than 50 veteran-focused organizations that provide affordable and physically accessible housing; education, job training and employment initiatives; and related military services.
“The mission of Dogs For Life clearly aligns with the objectives of our veteran initiatives, and we are proud to support its efforts,” said Timothy Wadhams, president and CEO Masco Corporation. “Masco values the service and sacrifice of our U.S. Veterans, military troops, and their families, and is committed to supporting our nation’s heroes.”
Dogs For Life, Inc. will be using this grant toward its Assistance Dog Training and Administrative Center where it will be training veterans to train Hearing and Service dogs for their comrades.
