Make-A-Difference Monday: Pets for Vets

As you have probably noticed, I am a dog-lover!  (Hence Dog Day Wednesdays)  I’m really an animal-lover in general but dogs have a special place in my heart.  I think the love for and from a pet is one of the sweetest gifts in life.  My dogs are my children and I can’t imagine going through life without them!
I have always been a big supporter of animal charities and Pets for Vets is especially great because it helps animals and Veterans!  Their slogan, Healing Vets & Saving Pets, says it all!  This organization is amazing!  The goal is to provide a companion pet for Veterans that are suffering from conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).  The rescued shelter pets are trained specifically for each Veteran to make the perfect Veteran-Pet match.
Anyone who has a pet, knows their love and companionship can be a source of strength and comfort!  I can only imagine how a companion animal would help a Veteran struggling to overcome the traumas of military duty and transition back to civilian life. 
There are multiple ways to help this organization.  You can donate, volunteer (in a variety of ways), and purchase items from their sponsors who in turn donate and/or support Pets-for-Vets.  I encourage you to learn more about this organization!  It truly is a great way to help rescue animals and support our U.S. Military Veterans!
Happy Make-A-Difference Monday!  Please let me know of ways you are Making A Difference by emailing me at Tess.LostInLife@gmail.com.  I would love to hear about other organizations and learn ways I new ways I can help Make a Difference!
