    S2E7: Serving Veterans One Dog at a Time: Patriot Paws of Aggieland

    In this heartwarming episode of On-Air with Student Affairs, host Elizabeth Drake sits down with Hailey and Trinity from Patriot Paws of Aggieland to discuss the incredible work this student organization is doing to serve veterans in need. Patriot Paws offers Texas A&M students a truly unique opportunity: the chance to raise and train service dogs for disabled American veterans at absolutely no cost to them. With a mission to help reduce the veteran suicide rate—currently at 22 veterans per day, this organization embodies the spirit of selfless service that defines the Aggie community. During the episode, Hailey and Trinity share touching stories about their experiences raising puppies from just a few months old through their graduation, when they're finally paired with veterans who need them. They walk us through the emotional matching process, where dogs and veterans meet for the first time, and describe graduation ceremonies where "there's not a dry eye in the house." With almost 200 members, Patriot Paws offers a supportive community where students form lasting friendships while making a real difference in veterans' lives.
