<p>感谢 Petco Love 今年帮助英雄计划的资助对象，像 James（与 Drako 合影）这样的退伍军人可以依靠他们收养的服务犬来支持他们的独立和整体福祉。</p>
<p>Petco Love 继续通过其帮助英雄计划倡导并加强服务成员与他们训练有素的服务犬之间的终身纽带。自 2009 年以来，已投资超过 1900 万美元，帮助英雄计划表彰宠物丰富生活和带来急需疗愈的非凡方式，尤其是对军队退伍军人。</p>
<p>今年 Petco Love 帮助英雄计划的资助对象之一是佛罗里达州的 K9 Partners for Patriots。该组织将退伍军人与服务犬配对，这些服务犬对他们的生活产生了巨大影响。退伍军人 Wendy 说，在与她的服务犬 Maverick 配对之前，她失去了独立性。她说：“压力和焦虑吞噬了我。” 在访问该组织的校园时，她被一只黑色拉布拉多犬吸引。她说，照顾 Maverick、每天遛他和参加训练课程逐渐帮助她走出孤立。现在，当她遭遇恐慌发作时，Maverick 会跳到她的腿上，或者确保她的注意力集中在他身上。Wendy 认为 Maverick 帮助她摆脱噩梦，让她在机场感到安全。现在她再次有信心旅行，完成护理学位，并攻读硕士学位。她说：“Maverick 让我重新获得了生活的能力。”</p>
<p>“狗有着非凡的能力，可以为我们的生活带来爱与希望。但当经过训练后，服务犬能够执行改变生活的功能，并为我们国家的军队退伍军人提供独立，” Petco Love 总裁 Susanne Kogut 说。“Petco Love 很荣幸能够投资于那些拯救庇护所狗并将它们训练为帮助英雄的组织。我们不仅在改变这些庇护所宠物的生活，还在赋予退伍军人和其他需要帮助与无条件爱的人的力量。”</p>
<p>“从我和 Drako 见面的那一刻起，我们就有了立即而强烈的联系，” 退伍军人 James 说。他每天都被与服务相关的健康问题和创伤后应激障碍所困扰。多亏了今年 Petco Love 帮助英雄计划的另一位资助对象，James 与他的服务犬 Drako 配对。田纳西州的 Working Dogs For Vets 帮助 James 从当地庇护所收养了 Drako。<strong>“</strong> 当我感到不知所措时，Drako 在我和他人之间形成了一个屏障，给了我保持冷静所需的空间。他还能够感知我需要帮助的时刻，并会在我处于困扰时提醒我的家人。他非常专注于我，时刻关注我的情绪。他迅速成为我的伙伴，有时也是我的生命线。”</p>

</div><p>Petco Love continues to champion and strengthen the lifelong bond between service members and their trained service dogs through its Helping Heroes initiative. With over $19 million invested since 2009, Helping Heroes honors the extraordinary ways pets enrich lives and bring much needed healing, especially for military veterans.</p>

</div><p>One of Petco Love's grant recipients this year for Helping Heroes is K9 Partners for Patriots in Florida. The organization partners veterans with service dogs who make all the difference for them. Veteran, Wendy, said she lost her independence before being teamed up with her service dog, Maverick. &#34;Stress and anxiety consumed me,&#34; she said. While visiting the organization's campus, she was drawn to the black Labrador. She said caring for Maverick, walking him every day, and attending training sessions gradually helped her out of isolation. Now when panic attacks strike, he jumps into her lap or makes sure her focus is on him. Wendy credits Maverick with waking her up from nightmares and helping her feel safe in airports. Now she has confidence again to travel, complete her nursing degree, and pursue a master's degree. She said, &#34;Maverick has given me the ability to live again.&#34;</p>

</div><p>&#34;Dogs have an extraordinary ability to bring love and hope to our lives. But when trained to serve, service dogs perform life-changing functions and provide independence for our nation's military veterans,&#34; said Susanne Kogut, Petco Love President. &#34;Petco Love is honored to invest in organizations that save shelter dogs and train them for service as helping heroes. We're not only helping transform the lives of these shelter pets, but also empowering veterans and others in need of assistance and unconditional love.&#34;</p>

</div><p>&#34;From the moment Drako and I met, we had an immediate and powerful connection,&#34; said Army Combat Veteran, James. He was overwhelmed daily with service-related health issues and PTSD. Thanks to another Petco Love grant recipient this year for Helping Heroes, James was teamed up with his service dog, Drako. Working Dogs For Vets in Tennessee helped James adopt Drako from a local shelter. <strong>&#34;</strong> Drako creates a barrier between me and others when I feel overwhelmed, giving me the space I need to stay grounded. He can also sense when I need help and will alert my family if I am in distress. He is incredibly attentive and focused on me, constantly tuned in to my emotions. He quickly became my partner and, at times, my lifeline.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“从我和 Drako 见面的那一刻起，我们就有了立即而强烈的联系，” 退伍军人 James 说。他每天都被与服务相关的健康问题和创伤后应激障碍所困扰。多亏了今年 Petco Love 帮助英雄计划的另一位资助对象，James 与他的服务犬 Drako 配对。田纳西州的 Working Dogs For Vets 帮助 James 从当地庇护所收养了 Drako。<strong>“</strong> 当我感到不知所措时，Drako 在我和他人之间形成了一个屏障，给了我保持冷静所需的空间。他还能够感知我需要帮助的时刻，并会在我处于困扰时提醒我的家人。他非常专注于我，时刻关注我的情绪。他迅速成为我的伙伴，有时也是我的生命线。”</p>
