Pets Loyal 2 Vets

PetsLoyal2Vets was created by and built by veterans for fellow veterans who have been diagnosed and treated for PTSD, TBI and physical assault traumas. Any honorably or medically discharged veterans treated for PTSD and TBI from any conflict who has completed a VA sponsored mental health program may apply for a companion, therapy or Psychiatric Service Dog at no cost. PL2VETS is also available to veterans who had a therapy or service dog which passed away and are now in need of a new companion.

If we place a companion or therapy dog with you, and you have to go back into the Minneapolis, Minnesota VA Hospital for any inpatient stays up to 30 days, Pets Loyal 2 Vets will be happy to board your dog for you at no cost. We will even bring your dog to the VA on weekly visits at no cost to you.

We are veterans who have been diagnosed with many of the similar injuries and know the struggles a vet goes through.  We've been there and now we want to give back by helping Minnesota veterans. It seems everyone knows someone who is or was in the military. Veterans gave their all, now it's our turn to give back to them.
