Tag a Pet for a Vet members are constantly in contact with veterans through various military organizations.  When a veteran approaches our team seeking assistance to obtain a pet we assist in the following ways:

• Work with the veteran to understand their needs, desires, lifestyle, capabilities so that we may help them provide realistic expectations or even the type of ideal pet.

• Provide guidance as to where the veteran should seek out the pet they are best suited for.  These will include providing them with vetted shelters and other organizations.

• Depending on the veteran’s needs, help may also be given going through the screening process, interacting with the organizations and, in some cases, going with the veteran to pick up the animal. 

• Check up on the veteran once he/she is with their new companion to see that the bond is being built and there are no issues that need to be addressed.

Each veteran’s needs are different.  Some are very self-sufficient and require minimal support while others require more personal assistance.
