THE STORY:
Help us win $20,000 for our cause!
Pets for Patriots provides healing at both ends of the leash by helping United States military veterans adopt shelter dogs and cats most at risk of death or permanent homelessness.
We are the only nationally operating 501(c)(3) organization that is open to veterans and military personnel from all armed forces and any era of service, that is focused on the most overlooked shelter pets - adult and special needs dogs/cats and large breed dogs - and committed to making pet adoption affordable for our nation's heroes.
Since our launch in 2010 we have served hundreds of veterans returning from war with PTSD, TBI and other psychological trauma, deploying military personnel who want to fill the void of their absence for their families back home, and veterans who are coping with loneliness and depression. For these and many other life situations, a companion pet is just the right prescription for body, mind and soul.
- $50 funds food for one veteran's adopted pet for up to four months
- $150 funds food for one veteran's adopted pet for up to one year
- $250 funds one complete adoption, including food for up to one year and extensive pre- and post-adoption follow up
