Paws and Breathe: Hope for Heroes

Paws and Breathe is a nonprofit I’ve created to honor and support the heroes among us—our veterans and first responders. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and training, we’re pairing them with life-changing canine companions, fostering healing, hope, and bright futures for both humans and dogs alike.

While Paws and Breathe is still in its early stages, we’re hard at work building the foundation—literally. As we create a safe and nurturing space for our dogs and their future companions, we’re in need of critical materials like wire fencing, tools for building maintenance, and other supplies. Your support, whether in materials or monetary donations, will directly help us bring this vision to life.

Your generosity will not only help us rescue and train dogs but also allow us to develop essential programs and begin transforming lives—one paw at a time. Whether it’s a leash, a bag of food, or support for our facility, every gift matters and makes a difference.

Thank you for considering joining us in this incredible mission. I promise to keep you updated on our progress and share the stories of the lives you’ll be helping to transform.

With gratitude and hope,

Jake Burnside

Founder, Paws and Breathe
