Saving Lives on Both Ends of the Leash
The PenFed Foundation is proud to partner with Tony La Russa and his family’s La Russa Rescue Champions on an initiative that creates life-changing outcomes for both veterans and animals. This program rescues shelter dogs and trains them to become highly skilled service animals—providing veterans with trusted companions that support independence, emotional well-being, and daily life. By pairing veterans with service dogs, the initiative addresses critical wellness needs while giving rescue animals a second chance at life. It’s a powerful example of how purpose, healing, and companionship can intersect to create lasting impact.
