Rescue Dog Adoptions $300
-
Special Dog Adoptions $2000

Medical up to $2000

We do not guarantee any of our sponsored dogs will become a service dog after training activities. We are a fundraising nonprofit that assists heroes along their various phases of recovery by helping them bond with their rescue or non-rescued dog.
We Partner with Von Bahneman K9 Training to help a veteran get through the 120 hours of training per that program.
We Partner with affiliate veteran services to turn veterans in need of mental health services toward professional care.
We cannot and will not sponsor everyone and our primary goal is to help find rescue dogs a furever home with a veteran that is willing to train with it.
Who We Are: Pa VetPets was founded by a veteran and dog foster mom after seeing how helping a local animal rescue eased PTSD.
What We Do: Simple, we find creative ways to raise money and awareness for local and national heroes.
We then direct those funds toward services that help.
Our Mission: Assist Veterans with PTSD through PTSD awareness events and fundraising. We aim to save as many rescued dogs as possible through partnerships, donations, and online fundraising events.
-
We cover the cost of dog adoptions
-

-
We assist in covering portions of obedience and some portions of advanced training.

PTSD Awareness and fundraising
PTSD in Military Veterans affects not only the veteran, but the veteran's family and his or her community. For too many of our returning service men and women there are often unseen battles still going on within the minds of those that suffer from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Start feeling better today by understanding how to readjust to life outside of the military. If you are always on alert, lacking sleep, always at the point of panicking or snapping out, or you might often feel numb and cut off emotionally from the things that used to drive meaningful connections in your life, and if you feel broken and unrepairable.
If so, seek help.

About
Pa VetPets partners with local organizations to help cover the cost of animal adoption fees and training associated with transition from being rescued to being connected with one of our Veterans in need of a companion. We will offer broader ways to register for other forms of information and support for veterans as funding becomes more readily available. Our mission is to alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD through animal adoptions, community action, and volunteerism.
