Project Manager of Veteran War Dog Fund

A long serving member of the ADF Special Forces, Horst is the project manager of AWAMOs Veteran War dog fund. The project financially helps and supports veteran MWDs. Unfortunately, many of the significant health costs come at the end of a dog’s life. This can be a significant impost on those that have given our MWDs their retirement home. Our four legged soldiers have given much. 11 have given the ultimate sacrifice, killed in Afghanistan protecting our troops. We owe them much, at least to make their last few years of life comfortable and given medical treatment when needed. The funds have been used ranging from purchasing medication, payment of veterinary bills and the supply of dog items that aid comfort- such as bed coat and toys. Finally we have funded the costs of cremation and honouring them with a burial head stone. We have an agreement with Master Pets who are currently providing a range of their special Black Hawk dietary foods.
