"What can I do?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mission
Vets Adopt Pets - Our program is about "Thanking Veterans for their service to us all". We are a community of contributors, shelters & rescues that join together to pay the adoption fee as our way of saying Thank You to Veterans, Active Duty & their Families.
In addition to U.S. Military & Veterans Adopting Shelter Pets for Companion Animals, we also provide support for Service Dog information & referrals. Also, we are slowing working on support packages for Military Working Dogs & their Handlers.
Our role is to pull together the many organizations, information and resources that exist to honor and celebrate the Human-Animal Bond which benefits both animals and Military humans as Companions, War Dogs & Service Dogs.
