ICYMI: Nesconset Nonprofit Trying To Help Sergeant Bring Dog Home

NESCONSET, NY — Sergeant Micky, while serving overseas, stumbled upon canines being sold for use in dogfighting, according to a news release from Nesconset-based Paws of War. When he laid eyes upon one dog that was in terrible shape, including having had her ears still bleeding from being cut off due to the fights, he had to step in.

Sergeant Micky rescued Misha from the dogfighting ring and certain death, according to the nonprofit. Now, he's trying to rescue her a second time by bringing her safely to America to live with him and his family. However, he needs help to make it happen.

"Sgt. Micky shares the compassion for dogs that most people in America have," said Dereck Cartright, a disabled veteran who is the stateside logistics coordinator at Paws of War, via news release. "He saved the dog from being killed once, and we will do everything we can to help him save the dog a second time. I had to leave behind a dog I rescued while serving overseas and it still haunts me to this day. We are asking people to make even a $5 donation to help support the effort."
