Saving Both Ends of the Leash®
Pets and Vets was launched in 2011 as a service providing emotional support animals to U.S. military heroes. Our program now includes a variety of services for Veterans, including free adoptions, veterinary care, and a training program that transforms rescue dogs into psychiatric service animals for Veterans with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety, and more.
