Royal Refrigeration was approached by Danny Scheurer, the CEO of Save-A-Vet, to assist him in a wonderful cause. Save-A-Vet began when Danny was stationed in one of the most dangerous places in Baghdad during one of the worst times in the war. Danny learned that a military contractor, whose contract with the government was not being renewed, and had decided to leave their corporate-owned K-9's behind, to avoid the costs of transporting and sheltering them and abandon these noble animals in the backstreets of Baghdad. He decided that when he got back to the States, he was going to do something about it to assure that every canine veteran received the same honor and care as our human veterans. Since then, thousands of people have joined with Danny and Save-A-Vet, to champion the cause of our K-9 heroes. Save-A-Vet helps rescue military & law enforcement working dogs & other service animals from being put down when their service to country & community is done, and to provide housing and relief for disabled veterans who help take care of them. They have successfully pursued these goals through a comprehensive 4-point program of awareness, advocacy, adoption, and rescue.
Their goal is to build combined rescue shelter / veteran's housing facilities around the country reasonably close to VA hospitals -- where these human and canine companions can live and heal together as long as they need.
Danny currently travels to functions across the world, and sells beer out of his trailer to raise money for this worthy cause. He would soon like to be able to sell hamburgers and hot dogs, etc - with all proceeds going to Save-A-Vet. We want to help out Save-A-Vet, with hopes of updating his current refrigeration into more of a user friendly piece of equipment. Royal Refrigeration, Inc. will be donating our labor, and hopefully a couple of our suppliers will also donate some parts and equipment.
Save-A-Vet nfp Inc. is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation. They would very much appreciate both in-kind and cash contributions, which are fully tax-deductible. Please check out their website
SAVE-A-VET.ORG and consider making a donation to this worthy cause.
