Vortex Optics asked for its fans, Vortex Nation, to show their support for the military working dog community with Collars for a Cause. They community showed up big, with Vortex support totaling $1,000 through the purchase of dog collars and leashes in November for the US War Dogs Association.

Vortex Nation Supports US War Dogs Association

Chris Willingham, president of US War Dogs, said: “The generosity of Vortex customers will help us continue our vital mission of providing a lifetime of practical support from military working dogs, their handlers, and families. These dogs give the best years of their life in service to our nation, and we are here to repay their devotion as best we can. To Vortex Nation, thank you, and K-9 leads the way!”

Dedicated to supporting working dogs through their entire lives, and to promoting the distinguished history of their invaluable service, the USWDA has been working tirelessly since 2000. Since then, they’ve shipped over 30,000 care packages to dog handlers serving overseas, while supporting hundreds of retired working dogs through their free prescription drug program.

Collars for a Cause might be over, but the need to support our military working dog communities is not. Please consider donating to USWDA. For more info on Vortex products, visit vortexoptics.com.
