Operation PAWS 4PEACE
Inspired by an American Soldier

OPERATIONPAWS.jpg

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.

 

 If you interested on donating to OPERATION PAWS4PEACE please contact me directly at mlng@samafund.org

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.  greenribbon.jpg

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

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.
