Animal Welfare Society is proud of our military and commend them for their service and excellence. We take pleasure in announcing our partnership with this worthy cause. Pets for Patriots unites veteran members of the military with a companion dog or cat at no cost. This program benefits both military veterans and shelter animals. Military veterans receive love and companionship and shelter animals receive a second chance at a happy home. Together we are helping to end animal homelessness and enriching the lives of the men and women of our military.
