More Than a Care Package: How Paws of War Is Supporting Deployed Military K9 Teams

Paws of War’s Military Working Dog Care Package Program delivers comfort, connection, and essential support to soldiers and their lifesaving canine partners overseas

Everyone loves to get a special care package in the mail. Not only is it exciting to get a gift that wasn’t expected, but it also shows that someone is thinking of you and cares. This is why the Military Working Dog Care Package Program, by Paws of War, is so popular. It provides military members and their K9s with much-needed and appreciated items, and it also lets them know people are thinking about them and truly care about their well-being.

“Being able to give them a small gift to keep their spirits up and let them know we have their back at home is an honor,” said Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War. “This program’s mission is about connection and making sure these teams deployed around the world know they matter. It’s the least we can do to give back for all they do for us.”

Paws of War began the program because the teams work in dangerous, high-pressure environments. That type of situation can lead to a lot of stress and anxiety, and being able to get an unexpected care package can go a long way toward putting a smile on their faces. The K9 dogs are not just working animals, but rather lifesaving partners, and the care packages include items just for them.

Letters to the Editor

Happy Winter! The latest issue of The Guide is now available for download as a PDF, Word document, or MP3 (audio) file at: SeeingEye.org/guide.  The Winter 2026 issue features Seeing Eye graduate Heather Davis and her Seeing Eye dog, a golden retriever named Briana. The text reads: ‘Law Partners’. Heather spoke at The Seeing Eye in October about her employer’s attempts to prevent her from bringing her Seeing Eye dog to work. Heather not only won that battle, but her experience convinced her to get a law degree to advocate for others!  This issue also has The Seeing Eye’s Kirby Award for Volunteer Excellence winner Bob Frederick; a fundraiser to honor Steve Pangere’s first Seeing Eye dog, Hope; improvements to our exercise yards for dogs on the Chester Campus; and much more.  And, on February 12th at noon (eastern time), Seeing Eye President & CEO Karen Leies will be holding a webinar to update Seeing Eye graduates, puppy raisers, volunteers, and donors about our accomplishments in 2025, what’s in store for 2026, and a Q&A session.
