Your Purchases Helped Pair This Veteran With His Beloved Dog

| Published on March 30, 2018

Part of each sale through the iHeartDogs store is donated to Greater Good Charities, which helps support various charities. Thanks to customers like you, happy endings, like the one below, are made possible. 

Elmer is an Army veteran who needed a companion to make life a little less stressful.

He is certainly not alone: lots of veterans, especially, benefit from the love and loyalty of a pet or service animal when transitioning back into civilian life. It’s something they most certainly deserve after serving our country.

Pets for Vets is an organization through Greater Good Charities that pairs companion animals with veterans free of charge. Some of these pets were even rescued from shelters and finally got their forever homes! Talk about a win-win.

Elmer and Lady are just one of the many happy matches made possible by Pets for Vets.

“I don’t know how to thank you for choosing Lady for us. She is such a treat to have. She takes me for walks about three times a day which I enjoy and is good for me. She starts her mornings out by crawling in bed with us for her morning loving then she is on to playing with her balls. She throws them and chases them until she is tired and needs a nap! And thanks to Pets for Vets to make this all possible.”
