By connecting our nation’s military Veterans with rescued animals, Pets for Vets helps create second chances and new beginnings. With over 300 successful matches and counting, we are changing lives one lick at a time.
Making the perfect, lifelong match begins with our dedicated volunteer trainers who help select and prepare animal companions for their new lives. If you are a professional dog trainer who wants to make a difference for Veterans and pets, we would love to have you on our team!
Turn your dollars into real change with a tax-deductible donation to Pets for Vets. Your contribution directly impacts Veterans and their animal companions by providing everything they need to start their life together on the right paw.
We enrich the lives of Veterans by creating a Super Bond® with custom trained working animals.

Meet Chapter Director Cynthia Coles
I was born in Tennessee (Go Vols!), and raised in Georgia. I graduated from Georgia State University and stuck around the Atlanta area. I married an Army reservist in 2013 and shortly thereafter we adopted our fur child, Layla, a hound/lab mutt. I come from a family of veterans – my dad served in the Navy, and my uncle, grandfather and great uncle all served in the Army. After a quick google search of organizations who help pets and veterans I started volunteering with Pets for Vets as the Volunteer Coordinator when my husband was deployed in 2017. I’m an Executive Assistant full-time, but enjoy the opportunity to give back to the community as our Atlanta chapter’s Director.

"He’s more than just a friend. He’s my battle buddy. He’s my left hand. We’re connected by a leash, but it’s really our umbilical cord. He’s sometimes more tuned into me than I’m tuned into me. He knows more about me than I do sometimes. He lets me know what’s going on."
– Adam
"You would think that a dog is just a dog. That may be true for some, but not me.
I used to sit at home, alone, and just let life pass me by, but now I have a reason to get up. Even if it’s feeding Samson, or taking him for walks, he has motivated me to live again."
– Luke
