Launched in 2011 as a service providing emotional support animals to U.S. military heroes, ARF's flagship program, Pets and Vets, now also transforms rescue dogs into trained service animals for veterans with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety, severe depression, and more.
Our veteran-canine teams complete service training curriculum together in small, veteran-only classes.
From rescue to evaluation to training, learn what makes ARF's Pets and Vets dogs special and meet some of our graduates.
Could you, or a loved one, benefit from an emotional support or service animal? U.S. military veterans are eligible for this free program.
