My name is Danny Scheurer, and I'm co-founder of Save-A-Vet. I am a 30 year old return Iraq veteran. Besides each other we relied on our canine friends for protection. There were many times when our bomb-sniffing canines saved our lives as we went about our duties.

As a lifelong animal lover, I passionately believe when our canine friends retire from their commission they should be given a dignified facility to live out the remainder of their days in peace. Many military and police dogs are unable to be placed for adoption because of their training. This is when Save-A-Vet "The Forgotten Soldiers" was born in my heart, let it live in your heart. Our canine friends will do any thing for us and go anywhere. They protect all of us in harms way. Now it is our turn to give back to them.

I would like to ask you for support. We have gotten our Incorporation back from the state of IL as a not-for-profit organization. We are currently raising money to file our 501(3)(c) form. We have gotten a lot of support from businesses and people across the world. Just recently at an event we were invited to set a booth at, we were approached by a very well known organization from my area which is interested in donating a very large piece of land for us to build our start-up kennels at. We would like the support to keep coming, but I have limited resources being how my background is mostly military. Please take time to visit our website, and feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for your time.
