Pets For Patriots

October 17, 2019Scott StrachanUncategorizedNo comments

Fort Myers has many veterans who have served our country. Unfortunately in our area we have many animals in need of adoption as well. Thats why we think the Pets for Patriots program is great. The Pets For Patriots program helps United States military veterans adopt a new pet friend while giving overlooked shelter dogs and cats hope and a home.

To promote the bond between pet and owner and reduce the chance of adopted animals being surrendered to shelters, Pets for Patriots supports veterans by making pet guardianship more affordable over the life of the pet, including ‘welcome home’ contributions for pet food and other essentials, access to high-quality, discounted veterinary care, and discounts on a range of pet-related goods and services.

Often the veterans Abby Services works together with are seniors and may need a private caregiver to assist them in caring for their pets. Did you know among other things, the private caregivers Abby Services works together with can also assist with pet care? From Scooping litter, to going for walks, to helping at a veterinary appointment a private caregiver through Abby Services can help.

 

The Pets For Patriots Website has many sobering statistics including:

  • Every day 20 veterans take their own lives. Every eight seconds a dog or cat is put to death for lack of anyone to adopt them. Companion pet adoption saves two lives.
  • 1 IN 5 Iraq/Afghanistan veterans suffer from major depression, increasing their risk of suicide.(Pets give unconditional love and acceptance, and a renewed sense of purpose in our lives, reducing the incidence of suicide)
  • 3 MILLION Pets will not make it out of a shelter alive each year, roughly equal to the population of Iowa(Every dog or cat adopted makes room in a shelter for another animal to be saved, through this program both Veterans and adopted animals benefit)
