Pets Healing Vets

Pets Healing Vets Saving Lives at Both Ends of the Leash These two groups have a commonality: the desperate need for hope. Most remarkably, each has the power to heal the other.

300,000 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are currently struggling with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and/or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). These illnesses are devastating: 18 veterans commit suicide every 24-hours.

5-7 million companion animals enter shelters every year in this country. 60-70% are euthanized due to overcrowding, illness or behavioral issue, often the result of

neglect or abuse. Both know the pain of often being misunderstood and marginalized. We can help make it happen! The Humane Society for Hamilton County launched their Pets Healing Vets Program in May 2012 to match qualifying veterans suffering from PTSD or TBI with a shelter animal at no cost to the veteran. For more information re: the program's guidelines and requirements for participating please visit www.PetsHealingVets.com.

What could be a better match for an American Hero than the "breed" once known as "America's dog"? ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

During World War I, the American Pit Bull Terrier became the mascot for the U.S. military as they symbolized courage, determination, and strength -- the ideal American hero.

Now, these amazing dogs have something different to offer our military veterans-- a lifelong bond of healing and new hope. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

To all our veterans struggling with PTSD and TBI, our shelter has dozens of land seals, house hippos, meatballs, and certified wigglebutts ready and waiting to be your lifeline. DON'T WAIT, come meet your new best friend today!

๐Ÿ“… Weโ€™re open this Saturday and Sunday, 12-5 PM.

๐Ÿพ March is Pit Bull Education Month at HSHC, and what better way to kick things off than with a new Pets Healing Vets Pair! ๐Ÿพ

Pets Healing Vets alumni Kenny recently lost his beloved battle buddy, Jax, to cancer. While it has always been so hard to accept that the bonds we share with our canine companions canโ€™t last forever, it is even harder to grieve for a best friend that was lost too soon. ๐Ÿ’”

Kenny met with a few of our dogs with his family, but one pitty in particular stole his heart- his name was Liberty.

Now renamed Sarge, this 1-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier has gone home with an amazing new family with one lifelong mission: to live, love, and be loved by his people through all the ups and downs of life. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

It was an honor to know that we were able to work with Kenny to give Jax the care he needed until the very end, and we could not be more proud to offer the same promise to Sarge.
