    Posted 01-20-2025 01:03 PM

    I'm looking for any and all military-related support programs. We live in a large military area and am looking to create more programs (and apply for grants to support funding) surrounding them; whether it be support and pet retention, volunteer opportunities, adoption specials, veteran assistance and more.

    We do "pets for vets." If a veteran wants to adopt an ESA, we help them find the perfect fit and waive the adoption fee.

    We do half price adoptions for active/retired military and also participate in a program called "Pets for Patriots". They have rules and restrictions but they offer a lot with an approved vet and their adoption so its worth looking into!

    That's an amazing initiative, Aly! Creating programs that support both military families and animals is such a meaningful cause. Have you looked into partnerships with organizations like Pets for Patriots or local veteran groups? They might align perfectly with your goals and help with funding opportunities!

    Hi, Aly!  At Animal Friends in Pittsburgh, PA, we have an amazing program that supports local animal-loving Veterans and active military members.  Our program is called "Animal Friends for Veterans," and the coordinator of the position is Melissa.  You can reach her at mstammely-park@thinkingoutsidethecage.org.
