Email request
Use the Email option on this page. Ask Companions for Heroes to remove your name and mailing address from fundraising and appeal mail.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Companions for Heroes:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Companions for Heroes permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Companions for Heroes. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Why Do You Receive Companions for Heroes Mail?
Companions for Heroes is a Brunswick, Georgia 501(c)(3) that pairs shelter and rescue dogs, free of charge, with veterans, active-duty military, and first responders coping with PTSD and traumatic brain injury. Donor appeals by mail are how many small nonprofits fund placements after the headline mission work.
You get this mail after donating, responding to a prior appeal, or landing on a shared charity list. Checks still route to their P.O. box in Brunswick, which is why the appeals keep a familiar return address even when you are not an monthly donor.
