VetPets of SWPA has been a wonderful experience for so many. I have seen it change and save lives. I believe it is the bond that develops in our small teams that sets us apart. I have seen veterans that were on a 2-4 year waiting list for a service dog come to learn that they really just needed a well-trained ESA and a nonjudgmental environment to regain a sense of purpose, pride, and comradery.

aboutus
VetPets of SWPA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that raises money for the mission of changing the lives of animals and veterans. We have expanded our reach to aid first responders and our volunteers on their wellness journey through our resources.
We started with a desire to help three veterans per year adopt and train with dogs for emotional support and we have grown into beacon of hope for so many.
Testimonials
After I had my stroke, I felt alone. I felt isolated. VetPets Services taught me that I am not alone and that I belong to a caring family of support.
Team Rudzik
"VetPets not only raises money for a great cause but they provide a nonjudgmental environment. We do more than just train, we recover."
Team Rubgy
"No Veteran has ever committed suicide with a dog. Zero! And that's why I will support this program. They walk the walk."
Team Glory
"VetPets is different because it combines wellness activities with dog training and emotional support. My favorite part about VetPets is the small Wellness groups."
