Pets for Vets is pawleased to announce the formation of a new chapter in the Washington DC Metro area. Pets for Vets is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization operating in 22 states bringing together man’s best friend and our returning soldiers.
The mission is; “To help heal the emotional wounds of military veterans by using the power of the human-animal bond to provide a second chance for shelter animals by rescuing, training and pairing them with America’s servicemen and women who could benefit from having a companion animal.”
Our professional trainers will select a shelter pet based upon interviews with each veteran to determine their individual needs and personal lifestyle. All animals are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, neutered and micro-chipped. The animal is adopted from the shelter and placed with a Pets for Vets foster for weeks of rehabilitation and training. We provide a welcome package with all the necessary supplies and equipment to start their new life together at no cost to the veteran. Pets for Vets provides on-going support while the veteran adapts to the new life with their animal.
For more information or to donate or volunteer please go to Pets for Vets.
