Support ARF's Pets and Vets program today!

Saving Both Ends of the Leash^®

Launched in 2011 as a service providing emotional support animals to U.S. military heroes, ARF's program now also transforms rescue dogs into skilled service animals for veterans with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety, severe depression, and more.

Like trusted battle buddies, ARF's Pets and Vets dogs are invaluable partners for veterans readjusting to civilian life, providing powerful therapeutic and practical benefits. Proven benefits include:

Reducing anxiety, panic, depression, and symptoms of PTSD
Providing stability and companionship
Inspiring sociability
Establishing routines and self-care practices

Unlike service dog programs costing thousands of dollars and involving long waitlists, ARF matches veteran-dog teams quickly and at no cost to the veteran.

Pets and Vets Program Network

ARF is ready to partner with ambitious, established nonprofit animal shelters and veteran services organizations to bring the Pets and Vets model to other regions of the country.
