Happy 5-year adopaversary, Tank!

Cory serves in the Marines and in 2019 visited Prince George's County Animal Shelter where he met this brindle Boxer mix. Now Tank has big brother Gunner to pal around with, and we think Cory might need a bigger (or another) couch... 😂

Margie is a hero many times over.

After retiring from more than 20 years of service in the Air Force, Margie dedicates her life to saving senior dogs. In 2020 she adopted then 9 year-old Betty Lou through our partnership with Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland.

After Betty Lou crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 Margie returned to the sanctuary to save another 4-legged soul: 11 year-old Mocha.

We have a special place in our hearts for people who adopt older animals. While their time together may be shorter, it is sweeter as well. Congratulations to these two ladies in pink who are now, and are forever, family.

08/21/2024

When you're joining a military family the name Pipper just won't do. So this handsome hound is now Sarge, having joined Marcus and his beautiful family for a life of love and adventure!

Marcus served in the Army, including deployment to Afghanistan. We're honored to make possible this "thank you for serving" opportunity with our partners Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA), which waives adoption fees for our veterans. Woot!!

08/20/2024

When you’re named after one of the most iconic animal welfare advocates, you know you’re special.

Betty White fits the bill. Like her namesake, she has a true zest for life and brings a smile to everyone in her orbit. Easygoing, with manners that would make Emily Post jealous!

THRILLED at our first adoption through our new partners High Country Humane!!

Kyle retired from the Marines after more than 20 years of service, including deployment to Afghanistan. Like many veterans he struggled to adapt to civilian life, but adding Waffle to his household has turned his world around. His wife shares one of the best post-adoption updates ever:

"But the last couple days with his new buddy, he's engaged and HAPPY. I knew service dogs could be lifesavers for PTSD vets, but had no idea how hard civilian life would be for a twenty year Marine, and how much just adopting a rescue dog could help. And I thought I knew everything about dogs AND military life as a third generation mil spouse who's into rescue!"

Most veterans neither need nor will qualify for a service animal. But the right companion dog or cat can work wonders for their physical and mental health, ability to adjust to civilian life, and avoid becoming a tragic statistic.

Happy life, fellas!!

After losing her dog of 17 years Amy needed another pet to love. And so this Marine Corps veteran adopted Skittles, an adult cat who we pinky swear is inside that box!! 🐈

Thanks DFW Humane Society for waiving adoption fees for our veterans. You're the cat's meow!

08/15/2024

Meet adoption number 💯 through our partners The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County!!🎉

Francisco served in the Army and wanted a 4-legged battle buddy. He was chosen by Farrah, a 3+ year-old Pittie mix with chronic skin allergies - and it took mere seconds for these two souls to fall in love. ❤️

Thanks to this amazing shelter partner for offering our veterans a $16 adoption fee when they save an eligible dog or cat. Imagine finding your best bud and getting change for a 20!

08/14/2024

In 2011 Tamara was looking to adopt a cat and her local shelter, Humane Society of Tampa Bay, told her about this relatively new program called Pets for Patriots. The Army veteran took a chance on us and adopted then 2 year-old Athena, a stunning white cat who would be part of her family many adventures.

Earlier this week - after almost 13 years - Athena crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈

Athena spent her last days going down to the pond in her wagon so that she could eat some grass, and on the couch nestled between her husband's legs - one of her favorite spots for years.

Please share your prayers; RIP Athena. Heaven just got a new angel.

As a combat medic Rory was dedicated to saving lives on the battlefield. But when unseen demons haunted her years after her separation it would be a rescue dog who came to her aid.

And thanks Monroe County Friends of Animals for this doubly lifesaving match!

08/12/2024

Sometimes we just can't stand all of the cuteness!!

Chicago is a one-eyed kitty, but that didn't matter to Paige. The Navy veteran adopted this fine little feline through our partners Salt Lake County Animal Services, which waives adoption fees for veterans we serve.

Another adorable reminder how our work uplifts not only military veterans, but military kids and whole families, too. Learn more/apply at pfp.care/adopt

🎶 "I am the walrus coo coo ca choo!"🎶

In nearly 5,000 adoptions, our first pet named Walrus. This big adult brindle boy was in the care of our partners Animal Welfare League of Alexandria when his hero walked through the door. Jonathan served in the Marines and - as you can see - is thrilled to add Walrus to his pack.

Thanks to Animal Welfare League of Alexandria for giving veterans in our program 50% off adoption fees, and for making another military family complete...oorah!

08/06/2024

Joe did not plan on adopting a shoe-stealing dog. But when his children begged for a family pup, the one who chose them wound up stealing more than their footwear: https://pfp.care/joe-sheena

Thanks SPCA Tampa Bay for another great match!

08/05/2024

When your new dad is a Marine Corps veteran the name "Dusty" just won't do. Meet newly-renamed, 4 year-old Sergeant and his awesome new family!

Sergeant's adoption fee was waived thanks to our partners Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA), which means more ca-ching for Chris to spoil his new battle buddy.

We couldn't be happier for this Marine Corps family...oorah!

08/05/2024

Jon retired from the Marines after 20 years of service and two tours in Iraq.

But his days of being a hero are far from over. Recently he rescued not one, but two adult cats through our partnership with Baltimore Humane Society, which waives adoption fees for veterans in our program.

Evan (the tabby) and Pepper (the black cat) are thick as thieves, and enjoy Jon's innovative homemade cattery he fashioned for their enjoyment. Mission accomplished!

We're proud to serve veterans from WWII to active duty from all armed forces. And veterans in our program can have up to two Pets for Patriots eligible pets at a time, each with full benefits. This makes it easier (and more affordable) to adopt bonded pairs like Evan and Pepper - doubling the lifesaving impact of our work.

Meow, baby!

THRILLED to introduce our first adoptees through our partnership with Berea Animal Rescue Fund in Ohio:

Andre, Army veteran, and Alec:

"Alec is doing quite well with a few minor issues which are to be expected. He is not our first rescue, but is the oldest at 5 yrs old and fully mature (although, I have to say, in many ways his behavior is very puppy like).

The unfortunate part is that we have no history as he was in a previous shelter which we were told was in very bad condition and was at Berea for six months before we adopted him...

So now he has a yard to run around in and protect from intruders like deer and squirrels, goes for morning walks (needs more training there), and a home where he is not cooped up in a cage (do not believe in them) with lots of attention."

We couldn't be happier for Alec and his new family - and couldn't love our first adoption with Berea Animal Rescue Friends more. ❤️

07/31/2024

Brandie is an Air Force veteran and foster volunteer at Humane Society of Valdosta Lowndes County near her home. Recently she fostered George and brought him back to the shelter while she took a previously planned trip.

The whole time she was away, Brandie couldn't stop thinking about George. So upon her return she made it official: Brandie and George became foster failures, otherwise known as adopted!

07/30/2024

Megan is a young Navy veteran who became a first time cat mom when the loneliness of shore duty set in: pfp.care/megan-gary ⚓

Thanks to Virginia Beach SPCA for another fetching match.

Have a black cat in your family? Post!!

07/29/2024

Casey and his wife Leanne knew it was time to add a four-legged member to their beautiful family. So Casey joined our program and visited our partners Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, where the Marine Corps veteran met his own little devil dog.

Tux (formerly Faygo) is a mixed Bully breed, and all smiles as he joins his new military family.

Thanks to Lollypop for being one of our longest shelter partners (since 2011!) and for giving veterans in our program 50% off adoption fees. Oorah!

07/29/2024

Fabricio and his wife volunteered to bring dogs from Humane Society of Valdosta Lowndes County to Moody Air Force Base for a 'doggy dash' event. Of the 17 dogs there, only one didn't go back to the shelter that night.

Demi - now Elizabeth - hit the adoption jackpot! She has two people who think her snoring is adorable, and love that she "would try to make friends with every living thing that moves."

Congrats to this Air Force couple and their new co-pilot! ✈️

07/28/2024

When you were known as Kujo and were renamed Saint, you've GOT to be a good boy!

Congratulations to this happy hound on his adoption to Kalein, active duty Navy. Shoutout to our partners Norfolk SPCA Adoption Center & Veterinary Clinics for another fabulous, fee-waived adoption through our partnership.

Grab a Kleenex and watch this touching video of Paul, a Vietnam veteran and amputee, and his adoption to Lady. We're so honored to have worked with Seminole County Animal Services to make this doubly lifesaving match happen.

Dewey is a stunner! And his new dad John is quite handsome, too. :)

John served in the Army National Guard and was on the lookout for a battle buddy. This stunning brindle Boxer got the call, thanks to our partners Paws Crossed Animal Rescue.

How cute is Tiki?

James served in the Navy and was looking for a new first mate. Someone to sail the high seas of life day in, day out. Two year-old Tiki was in the care of our partners Friends of Strays Animal Shelter, which waives adoption fees for veterans in our program.

Wishing this duo years of smooth sailing! ⚓️

07/24/2024

Our mission uplifts veterans and military families, too. Just ask Mike, Navy veteran and his dino-loving little boy, who just added Lemon Bar to their pack.

This adoption is extra special to us because it was made through one of our longest term partners. Since 2011, Rancho Coastal Humane Society has offered veterans in our program fee-waived adoptions. They came on board when we barely had any adoptions because they believed in our mission to better the lives of pets and people through adoption. They took a chance on us, and we're grateful.

So a tip of our hats to our pals at RCHS, and of course to Mike for his service in the Navy and for becoming a new dog dad.

07/23/2024

When the demands of military life left him unmoored, a Navy sailor found a canine anchor to steady his ship. Thanks Friends of Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, Inc. for helping us bring Kevin and Killick together! Read their amazing tale: https://pfp.care/kevin-killick ⚓️

07/22/2024

Nina was adopted 9 years ago to Charlie, an Army veteran, and just turned 14. She'd really love some birthday wishes...🎂

07/22/2024

"Coco is really helping me deal with life right now." ~ Theodore recently separated from the Navy and with little to no family to speak of, found himself adrift in loneliness.

Theodore knew that he didn't want a puppy, but an adult dog - preferably a Bull Terrier - and Coco (formerly Ginger) fit the bill.

Sometimes the answer to challenges in our life is as simple a dog or cat who needs a loving home - and who will remind you that you are not alone.

Thanks Humane Society of Huron Valley for this meaningful match and for giving veterans in our program 50% off adoption fees. Anchors aweigh! ⚓️

07/18/2024

Pets have a way of anchoring us in the moment because that's just the way they experience the world. They don't dwell on yesterday or fret about tomorrow.

Just ask Liliana, who serves in the Navy and threw a lifeline to Flapjack, a nearly 4 year-old beautiful brindle boy.

Thank you Baltimore Humane Society for another winning match through our partnership. Anchors aweigh! ⚓️

07/17/2024

There must be at least 57 reasons to love Heinz - and we're sure that Michael, Army veteran, knows all of them!

Sweet match through our partners KC Pet Project, which gives veterans in our program 30% off adoption fees.

Wishing these two a flavorful life together! 🤣

John is a 92 year-old U.S. Coast Guard veteran who lost his wife of 71 years. But thanks to support from the Baby Doge Coin community, John adopted a senior cat who needed someone to love as much as he did. #unleashinghope @followers

A two-tour Iraq war veteran finally feels at home after the chance adoption of a once nameless rescue dog left at an animal shelter. Thanks to support from the Baby Doge Coin community and to our partners Ventura County Animal Services for helping us make this happy tail possible!

Tell us your dog is spoiled without telling us your dog is spoiled: She'll only eat fresh green beans from the farmer's market.

Thanks Baby Doge Community!

THRILLED to partner with Baby Doge Coin to save the lives of shelter dogs nationwide! Thanks to their support, more dogs will go from homeless to home with military veterans. Stay tuned to all of our social media channels, including Facebook, for exciting updates throughout the year! @followers

Hairy has left the building!! We're THRILLED to share that the Hairy the 'hotel hound' set sail for a wonderful life with his new military family. Mike served more than 20 years in the Navy, deployed the world over in defense of our nation. When Hairy chose him and his beautiful family everyone knew that this was "the one." Hairy enjoyed a festive bon voyage paw-ty at @bobbyhotel where he's spent the past year receiving manners training while being the hotel's 4-legged lobby lounge lizard, greeting human and canine visitors alike. Thanks to our new partnership with @nashvillehumane, Hairy is our first of what we hope are many wonderful adoptions together. Happy life, Hairy!

Who's going to win: Berry the dog or Berry's mom?

Our founder's senior pup Berry making a hasty getaway with the miss Piggy stuffy given to her by her friends at All Creatures Veterinary Hospital...run, Berry, run!!

Avyanna exploring her new swag from Chewy as part of our 'welcome home' support to all pets adopted through our program. This too-cute kitty was found near dead after a trio of youths put her in a plastic bag and stomped her. Thanks to our partners SPCA of Texas who rescued and rehabilitated her, and now to Raven, Army veteran, Avyanna is putting her tragic past behind her!

Thanks to Lucie's foster mom for sharing all the reasons that this Forget Me Not girl is so special! Lucie has been searching for a forever home since July and is available through our partners Nantucket Island Safe Harbor for Animals. Watch her vid and read her FMN bio - and please, adopt this darling dog! https://www.petsforpatriots.org/forget-me-not/lucie-ma/

Steve can't get enough of these Subaru of America, Inc. commercials! Thanks to Ted, our very own director of veteran outreach and United States Marine Corps combat veteran, Vietnam - for sharing his too cute rescue pup with us. Does your pet have a favorite TV show or commercial? Tell us (or even better - show us)!

Bird watching

Sometimes when there aren't any birds outside her window, 14 year-old Tessa likes sitting with her Army veteran dad Jonathan and watching them on his tablet! Love when our Pets for Patriots alums stay in touch. Jonathan and Tessa were adopted in 2015 through our partners Humane Society of Tampa Bay. <3

You would never know that 3 year-old Winnie has hip dysplasia and arthritis, both due from a fracture she suffered prior to her rescue. Thanks to Scott, retired Navy, for his service and for sharing this howl-arious video with us!
