Approximately one million shelter animals are euthanized in the US every year. At the same time, many of our country’s Veterans are experiencing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). As many as 22 Veterans take their own life everyday.
Pets for Vets® founder Clarissa Black has created a solution by building a bridge between both populations by rescuing and training shelter animals for Veterans. Our program is provided at no cost to the Veterans. Her unique program customizes each match by ascertaining the superpowers of both the Veteran and the animal to create a Super Bond®. Potential animals are given the agency to choose to participate in the program based on their behavioral responses.
Pets for Vets® is looking to partner with trainers and shelters across the country to continue to expand the program. Clarissa has created a generous opportunity for R+ trainers located anywhere in the United States to join her team while keeping a flexible schedule, earning stipends, and receiving professional development opportunities. Shelters can also partner with Pets for Vets by providing animal recommendations based on behavior profiles that match our Veterans’ personality and lifestyle profiles.
