Dogs offer veterans something humans can’t: an unbreakable, unconditional bond that is inherently free of judgment. Studies also suggest that human-animal relationships reduce stress, fear, anxiety, and even cardiovascular disease. In particular, for veterans with PTSD, a relationship with a therapy or emotional support dog can help alleviate symptoms, and even reduce the severity and frequency of flashbacks.

A variety of programs now available around the country for returning military veterans and their dogs. In these programs, veterans are paired with rescue dogs who have been carefully selected for their temperament, interest in humans, and ability to pick up on important training. After assessment and preparation with one of the many nonprofits that train military veteran companion dogs, these rescue pups are paired with vets seeking emotional support and therapy dogs.
Without appropriate resources and treatment for returning veterans, many will suffer, often in silence. But there is one overlooked resource that few veterans know about.
In the United States, 400,000 dogs are euthanized each year, primarily due to shelter overcrowding. Many of the shelters forced to euthanize their dogs partner with these non-profit organizations to pair vets with specially trained and ‘vetted’ dogs. With hundreds of thousands of dogs flooding local shelters and rescues each year, there are so many opportunities for returning veterans to find a dog that fits their needs; but first, they need to know about this important community resource.
