Boots & Paws
Companion Dog Awarding
We’re awarding a companion dog at the Hudson Valley Renegades Game. Join Boot & Paws and G-Connect at the ball game and see guardians meet their new companions.
Companion dog awardings are memorable moments where we introduce a puppy and their guardian. We’re excited to share this with the broader community at the Hudson Valley Renegades Game @ Duchess Stadium.
The Guardian Revival team & G-Connect program has also partnered with Vet2Vet for a series of baseball games at Dutchess Stadium for the Hudson Valley Renegades. We’ll be bringing a group of veterans & first responders and their families to the game. Hope to see you there!

Boots & Paws
Boots & Paws provides free companion dogs to veterans & first responders.
Dog ownership provides therapeutic benefits, including reducing stress & anxiety, easing depression & loneliness, and encouraging regular exercise.
In addition to their companionship, dogs can help commit owners to routines, create a sense of purpose & accomplishment, and facilitate social interactions.
Support
Most of our companion dogs are provided thanks to the generous support of sponsors, who (individually or as a group) contribute $5000.
The sponsorship package covers the dog along with a comprehensive care package, and a 12 month timeline of financial & expert support. Our staff has a regular cadence of follow-ups with each guardian to ensure they and their dog are doing well.
We bring guardian recipients from near & far to be paired with their new pups. As often as possible, sponsors join us for these awardings, which is a powerful opportunity for connection for everyone involved.
