Military Discount
Honoring Our Heroes
We’re proud to honor our service members by connecting them with loving pets through our Military Discount program. We believe the bond between a veteran and their furry friend can bring comfort, joy, and companionship.
To make a connection more accessible, we offer a $50 discount on adoption fees for all veterans and active-duty service members.
Whether you’re seeking a loyal dog to join you on daily adventures or a cuddly cat to share quiet moments, our shelter is here to help you find the perfect companion!
Pets Matter
For veterans and active-duty service members, a pet can be a powerful source of companionship, comfort, and joy. Pets offer more than just love—they enrich lives in meaningful ways, especially for those seeking connection or renewed purpose. Research highlights the benefits of pet ownership for veterans:
- Boost Physical Health: Pets encourage gentle activities like walking or playing, promoting wellness and mobility.
- Ease Stress: A pet’s calming presence can reduce stress and foster relaxation.
Strengthen - Connections: Pets spark conversations and build community ties, keeping veterans engaged.
- Enhance Well-Being: Studies show pets contribute to improved health and a greater sense of purpose.
A pet is more than a companion—they’re a loyal friend bringing love, laughter, and purpose to every day.
