ATLANTIC CITY — Canine members of the Armed Forces are often the first line of defense against danger. It is for this reason that the good people at Pet Valu holds a series of annual fundraisers to benefit the Burlington, NJ-based U.S. War Dogs Association (USWDA), a nonprofit organization committed to promoting the history of military service dogs, establishing permanent war dog memorials, providing support to war dogs and their handlers, and serving as a clearing house for retired dog adoptions across America.
