From a heartfelt letter to a powerful partnership: uniting for Whitman's Warrior Project


Posted June 28, 2023 by SimplySageDogTreats

Simply Sage Dog Treats recently partnered with Patriots Service Dogs to launch a new grooming product to raise money for their newest initiative, Whitman's Warrior Project.

Simply Sage Dog Treats partners with Patriot Service Dogs, donating 20% of sales to Whitman's Warrior Project. This initiative supports the training of rescue dogs as service companions and honors Whitman, the cherished mascot of the WOOF Prison Program.


"When we developed Whitman's Warrior Project, our team was excited to honor our prison program mascot, Whitman, but we had no idea how many people would be moved by his story. He's an older, one-eyed, blue nose pit-bull who clearly lived a rough life before our program adopted him. He isn't some people's idea of a 'cute face.' So, when Simply Sage Dog Treats asked to be a part of the project, we were thrilled to have a new partner but also touched that someone else saw what we see in Whit." - Julie Sanderson, President, and co-founder.

It all began with a heartfelt letter, a humble request for a small donation to support a worthy cause. Little did I know that this simple act of kindness would evolve into a remarkable partnership aimed at raising awareness and funds for Whitman's Warrior Project.

Upon receiving a handwritten letter and heartfelt photos from the founder and the incredible women behind WOOF, I was instantly captivated by their organization and the work they were doing. Without hesitation, I decided to donate. In the following weeks and months, the ladies of WOOF continued to keep in touch, sending me photos of Whitman and the dogs they were training.

As someone with a deep affection for rescue dogs, my own precious companion Sage, who was rescued, inspired me to launch Simply Sage Dog Treats. This cause holds a special place in my heart. I had a strong desire to find a consistent way to give back to both Patriots Service Dogs and WOOF. So, I approached them with a proposal to collaborate on an exclusive grooming product that would serve as a vehicle to promote Whitman's Warrior Project. To my delight, Julie and her team responded positively to my idea. It turned out that Whitman, a true advocate of our paw balms, became the inspiration for a unique creation.

Today, Simply Sage Dog Treats proudly pledges to donate 20% of all sales generated from the Whitman's Warrior Project Unscented Pet Paw Balm to support the ongoing initiatives of Patriots Service Dogs. By purchasing this specially crafted product, our customers not only provide excellent care for their furry companions but also contribute to the noble cause of assisting veterans through the Whitman's Warrior Project.
