Honor Military Working Dogs

A: As many as you want! There is no donation too big or too small! While we do have a limited number of deployed dog handlers we are currently supporting, there will be more in future months that will need support too!

A: Absolutely! We love to meet the people behind the collections! Stop on by our office at the address above and drop off your donation whenever you are ready.

A: The short answer is no, please do not solicit donations (cash or in-kind items) from any major company. Here’s why: Soldiers’ Angels has created collection campaigns throughout the year as an opportunity for individuals, businesses, and organizations to come together and give back to our Service Members and Veterans. These collection campaigns are meant to be held in a way that general members of the public (ie, your friends, family, classmates, co-workers, etc.) can donate to the campaign. If you are hosting a collection, please do not solicit cash or in-kind donations from retailers, manufacturers, large corporations, or any other business entity. Due to the nature of those requests and the paperwork involved, solicitation of donations must come directly from Soldiers’ Angels. In most cases, we already have a relationship established with many of the major businesses. If you happen to have a connection at a retailer, manufacturer, large corporation, or other business entity that you think would be willing to donate cash or in-kind items to Soldiers’ Angels, please reach out to us and we would be happy to contact them.

A: Your donation of dog items will be packed into a care package and shipped to deployed dog handlers around the world. Currently, Soldiers’ Angels is supporting a lot of deployed dog handlers. However, if we receive more supplies than are needed by those handlers, the items may also be shared with other active duty dog handlers or Military Working Dog training facilities.

In fact, did you know that the vast majority of Military Working Dogs receive their training right here in San Antonio at Joint Base San Antonio – Lackland? That means we have a plethora of dogs right here in our own community who would greatly appreciate the support if there are extra supplies once we pack up those care packages for deployed MWDs!

A. Absolutely. Please DO NOT send any used toys or unwanted dog items. Even if your animals rarely or never used an item, Military Working Dogs have highly skilled noses and may be extra sensitive to the scent of other animals on items.

A: If you would like to receive a tax receipt for your donation from any store, online or not, including Amazon, you must fill out an intent to donate form after you place your order from that store. If the store you’re ordering from has an option to include your name and address on a gift receipt, please do that as well.

The intent to donate form and the gift receipt will help us match the donation to your name once we receive it. This will also mean that a tax receipt is generated once we match the donation. Unfortunately, if we cannot match an item we receive to an intent to donate form that was submitted, the item will be marked as an “Anonymous Donation” and we would not be able to issue a tax receipt for that item.

A: If you would like to receive a tax receipt for you collected donation, please include a piece of paper in each box that is shipped to Soldiers’ Angels. The paper needs to include the name and information of the person (or company representative) the tax receipt should be addressed to. We will need their name (and company name, if applicable), address, phone number, and email address.
