Dear Veterans, Military Families & Active Duty,

A dog or cat gives a special kind of love for healing, health and happiness. In moving on from war, it is our turn, as a community to honor and respect your selfless act with support to move on from war.  To show our appreciation of your service to our country, U.S. Vets Adopt Pets would like to pay the adoption fee at your local animal shelter

People and animals have a long history of living together and bonding. Perhaps the oldest evidence of this special relationship was discovered a few years ago in Israel—a 12,000-year-old human skeleton buried with its hand resting on the skeleton of a 6-month-old wolf pup. “The bond between animals and humans is part of our evolution, and it’s very powerful,” says Dr. Ann Berger, a physician and researcher at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
