A Guest Blog by Vets Adopt Pets
Are you familiar with an organization called 'Vets Adopt Pets.' AllDogsWelcome.com will be posting guest blogs from them to help get the word out. What word - very simply: Rescued pets can help better the lives of our US veterans and Vets can help save the lives of our furry friends in rescues and shelters.
So my thanks to Barb for this first guest blog intended to familiarize my viewers with the programs and efforts of 'Vets Adopt Pets.'
You can also keep up with their efforts on twitter by following @PetsAdoptVets.

Vets Adopt Pets creates awareness, interest and support for U.S. Veterans Adopting Shelter Pets for companion or service animal needs. Our role is to disseminate information and resources by pulling together the many organizations that exist and to promote further actions that enable Veterans to heal with a Service Dog or enjoy a Companion Animal while Saving the lives of Shelter Pets.
Our major focus is to reach Veterans, Military Families, friends, neighbors, & communities. If a Vet is connected to the VA, they are being well taken care of, but statistically only approx. 1/4 of all Veterans utilize the VA, mostly due to geographic distance. We hope to reach those that may be isolated and in need of some support.....or a pet.....or a service dog. (suicide and PTSD are major issues).
Social Media's are supporting Vets Adopt Pets with much praise. We are part of the vast and wonderful healing community that support our Veterans.
