Serving Veterans and their companion animals in the Upper East Tennessee Region
Helping local veterans and their companion animals
How we help
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.
