A Salute to Soldiers is an annual fundraiser that has taken place in western Massachusetts since 2018. The event raises funds to benefit America's VetDogs, a non-profit 501(c)3 whose mission is "To help those who have served our country honorably live with dignity and independence" by placing service dogs in the homes of disabled veterans, active-duty military members, and first responders. It costs more than $50,000 to breed and train one service dog, however these dogs are paired at no cost to their veteran.
