I know, I usually feature a dog from a small shelter shown on Petfinder, but I blogged earlier in the week about Rocky, a retired and disabled military dog who was going to be put down if no one took him. (Someone did, thank goodness.) But I think this organization is well worth the space I’m going to give it today.
There are three things that get me choked up: babies, dogs, and veterans. Pets for Patriots involves at least two of them.
This is from their “About Us” page:
We create unique opportunities for members of the military community to save a life by honorably adopting homeless adult dogs and cats.
We support member Patriot adoptions of adult shelter pets, large dogs and special needs animals – those most in need of a loving, forever home – from any of our member shelters. To ease the financial costs associated with pet ownership, we partner with veterinarians to deliver a minimum 10% discount for the life of the adopted pet’s care. Pets for Patriots provides access to additional cost reductions for pet basics, such as food, toys and essential supplies.
What a great idea to serve two deserving populations at once!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Thanks for letting everyone know about this unique rescue organization! We are proud of the role that our pet ID tags play in helping raise money for animal rescues. For more information: http://www.pettagcreations.com/fundraising.shtml
