Golden Retrievers for Good Causes: Golden Puppies' Latest Contribution

Golden Puppies, a breeder from Louisiana specializing in Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles, has launched a commendable campaign aimed at supporting disabled veterans. The company's recent initiative involves the donation of puppies for training as service dogs. Highlighting this noble cause, on September 13th, a puppy was donated to Donnie Fontenot, a disabled veteran with considerable service history in both the Marine Corps and the Army, including deployments in Afghanistan.

Fontenot, who is also actively involved in the Road Home Program, advocates for the mental health of United States Veterans. His connection with Golden Puppies came about through a meeting with owner Victor McShan, leading Fontenot to choose Wrigley, a Goldendoodle puppy. The impact of Wrigley on Fontenot's life has been profound, notably assisting with nightmares and anxiety.

Wrigley's training at Brewer's Basic Obedience & Beyond in Tickfaw, LA, underlines the journey's challenges but also its rewarding outcome, with Wrigley close to passing the Good Citizen test. Fontenot offers advice for others interested in service dog training, emphasizing the importance of thorough research and choosing the right partners in the process.

As Wrigley progresses, Fontenot remains committed to aiding other veterans within Louisiana and Texas on their journey with service dogs, showcasing the broader community impact of Golden Puppies' initiative.
