​

We are a non-profit organization, founded by a retired Army veteran,  that exists solely to help local veterans and their companion animals.

The health benefits of owning a pet are well known, and include reducing anxiety and depression, and blood pressure. Pets also help increase exercise and physical activity, and provide a renewed sense of purpose.

Their unconditional love and acceptance and lack of judgement means a lot especially to a veteran who may be lonely or suffering from PTSD.

​

We:

• Run a home delivery pet pantry for Carter County Veterans whose income is less than 150% of poverty guidelines 

• Negotiate discounts for our program participants with businesses that provide pet services

• Assist in finding and applying for grants when needed for pet related expenses

• Use donations to fund our pet pantry

• Are looking for additional donations to start a medical fund
