WHO ARE
WE?
Veterans and Their Petssm
is a branch of Valley Dogs Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN:26-0896950),
no-kill animal rescue organization. Our focus is to support for the animals
of Veterans in need by providing veterinary care, temporary housing and
food. We are based in Phoenix Arizona and are working with the Veterans
Association and Veterans support organizations to identify those in need
throughout the Phoenix area. We are coordinating support from other
non-profit organizations that will also be providing food and other services
to the Veterans animals. We are seeking support from others to help us with
community outreach, transportation and foster care for a Veterans animal. We
have over 40 years of combined rescue experience and knowledge.
OUR
MISSION:
Veterans and Their Petssm
provides temporary housing, veterinary care and food for animals of Veterans
in need. We will spay/neuter and provide basic shots for a Veterans animal.
Our primary focus is homeless Veterans or Veterans in transitional housing
needing assistance. The core focus is to ensure that a Veteran will seek
medical care for their needs while we provide care for their animals.
Additionally we will support Veterans that are in transitional housing by
providing a home for their animal until they obtain permanent housing that
will allow the animal to live with them.
VOLUNTEER & FOSTERING
OPPORTUNITIES:
Veterans and Their Petssm
has many volunteer opportunities available
with flexible schedules. We can use all skills and interest levels and any
amount of time you can offer. Additionally we always need foster families to
care for dogs while a permanent family is found. Please contact us if you
are interested in learning more. You may call us or email our volunteer
coordinator at:
