Introduction: Working Dogs For Warriors is a California 501(c)(3) Non Profit Organization, Dedicated to helping our Nation's Warriors by Training and Donating Service dogs to Veterans and First Responders.
Working Dogs for Warriors was established in 2016 under the original name, My Gunny Bear Cares, Corp. It was established to honor those who have dedicated their lives to serving our community and country. Before the organization began, the founders Michael Welsh, Daisy Welsh and Daniel Gamboa had envisioned using service dogs to help those in need in our community including our military and first responders. With a passion for working dogs and a drive to serve our community, Working Dogs for Warriors was formed!
Big visions required big leaps of faith! The founders put together a game plan to move the organization forward and the Articles of Incorporation were quickly accepted by the State of California in July of 2016. Unfortunately, during the same month our youngest founder Daniel Gamboa passed away causing every vision for the organization to end. Michael and Daisy were too broken to continue. However, it was then that the very same people the organization had envisioned helping came together for our family and reminded us why we started the organization – to honor those who spend their lives serving our community and country! Our hope was lifted and the drive to move the organization forward was now stronger than ever before. Together, we took a bigger leap of faith to keep Daniel's legacy alive and show our community the kindness and strength in Daniel's heart. With God at the center of our organization, we have reached multiple milestones and are just getting started! We thank everyone who helped save our family. You are true warriors in our hearts and we know Daniel is still with us.
Thank you,
