Hundreds gathered at Paws of War's annual Car Show in Nesconset, New York, on May 31, 2026, to celebrate America's 250th birthday and support veterans, first responders, and service animals.
The free community event featured classic and custom cars, military displays, live entertainment, food trucks, and family-friendly activities. Proceeds from the event will help fund the training of service and support dogs for disabled veterans and first responders coping with PTSD and other service-related challenges.
Hosted at Paws of War's headquarters, the annual event has become a popular Long Island tradition, combining patriotism, community support, and the organization's mission of helping both people and animals in need.
