Detroit: if you love animals and want to help Veterans, we need a Volunteer Coordinator

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Pets for Vets, Inc.

Pets for Vets is a rapidly growing national nonprofit that pairs shelter dogs with returning Veterans to save lives and to increase the quality of life for those who have served our country. There are many servicemen and women looking for companionship to battle PTSD, agoraphobia, etc. and a canine companion can do wonders. A Veteran applies to receive a dog; an appropriate dog is chosen, adopted, trained and placed with the veteran forever. We are more interested in the quality of the placement than quantity of placements. We are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator who is interested in giving back.

Mission Statement

Pets for Vets enriches the lives of Veterans by creating a Super Bond with custom trained working animals.

Description

Pets for Vets selects shelter animals for each veteran to match his or her personality. Professional animal trainers rehabilitate the shelter dogs using positive reinforcement and teach the dogs foundational behaviors and skills to fit into the Veteran's lifestyle. Training can include desensitization to wheelchairs or crutches and recognizing and reacting to panic or anxiety disorder behaviors. Each pet will be spayed or neutered, healthy, up to date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Each veteran-pet match is provided with all of the necessary equipment to start their new life together. This program is provided at no cost to the Veteran.
