PAWS 4PEACE Inspired by an American Soldier
After a recent conversation
with SPC Mark Noland who is serving in Afghanistan
in the War on Terror we learned of another group of heroes who does not get as much recognition as they rightfully should~
our Military Working Dogs~ our K-9 HEROES. They go into combat zones
~ do their part to help in an array of tasks for the Army not to mention provide loving companionship to many of our soldiers
when deployed~ away from family often for one year to 15 months at a time. SAMA Inc. will recognize these unsung heroes through our PAWS4PEACE campaign. We are collecting nonperishable items
to send to Afghanistan in support of their efforts. We have a collection drop box at Pet Supplies Plus University Plaza in Albany, NY to collect bedding, cookies, bones, soft treats, nyla bones, kongs, tennis balls
and any other appropriate toys. All items collected on this wish list will be sent to 101st Airborne
Division in Afghanistan once a month.

Humane Education Programs
SAMA's humane education programs educate youth about animal welfare and how they can make a paw
print in an animal's life. It's important for children of all ages to understand that animals are living creatures that
have feelings and that they depend on humans for empathy and kindness. Learners will understand their
responsibility to treat animals with dignity and respect. While engaging in this program learners will explore some common
approaches taken to problem-solve. They will explore how individuals, groups and/or organizations use problem-solving
approaches to resolve community issues or needs and promote the common good. This program offers learners opportunities
to explore ways of addressing issues of animal welfare and humane treatment. SAMA's GO GREEN
campaign will also be incorporated into this program to teach learners Environmental Stewardship to gain a deeper understanding of
the importance of their role in providing a clean environment to promote healthy ecosystems in which animals can thrive.  THIS PROGRAM IS FREE TO ALL
CHILDREN IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. *Please
email mlng@samafund.orgfor availablity.
Humane education is about learning to care for the animals in our homes and communities. It
is about fostering kindness, respect and empathy for both human and nonhuman animals, and looking after the environment and
its diverse habitats- ASPCA
xxxxxxxxx Seniors Helping Seniors
Residents from a local assisted
living community are honoring SAMA’s Seniors in recognition of Dog Appreciation Month. Residents are selling homemade
dog biscuits wherein they will donate all proceeds to our HAND2PAW 's No Dog Left Behind~ Meals Across the Neighborhood Program which ensures ANY senior
dog in need in our community with nutritious food. No Dog Left Behind ~ Meals Across the Neighborhood Program fosters community togetherness while assisting
those in need regardless of circumstances. We are honored that our efforts have been recognized by these warm caring folks.
SAMA will pay it forward by visiting with the residents with our very own Hooch and Flower. While Hooch has previously ‘paid
it forward’ as he strolled up and down the halls sharing his grand presence of love at a local nursing
home; this however, will be his’s final job as he will then retire and pass the his reigns to Flower to continue to
bring hope, love, and warmth to the seniors.

miles of ocean from England to Ireland & Germany. PAWS ACROSS THE WORLD will help educate learners of all ages to understand that animals are living creatures
that have feeling and that they depend on humans for empathy and kindness. Our PAWS ACROSS THE WORLD campaign will
