NESCONSET, New York, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Everyone who has ever had a pet knows how special of a bond it can be. Pets are notorious for helping us to have a better quality of life. The same holds for U.S. military who are stationed overseas. Sometimes they befriend an animal they rescue, creating an incredible bond that helps them get through that time away from their family. When the deployment is over, they either need to walk away from the animal, which may lead to their death, or they need help relocating them back to the soldier's home in America. That's where Paws of War comes in.
