This chapter serves Veterans in Las Vegas, NV.
Meet Chapter Director Nicole Hughes
Nicole is a lifelong animal lover and a graduate of The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. While Nicole did not serve in the military, she has a strong sense of respect and gratitude for those who serve and sacrifice.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Science in Psychology. Her experience in mental health studies has provided her with an understanding of the struggles that individuals with mental health needs face and how challenging PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury can be.
Nicole’s knowledge, combined with her love of animals and respect for our nation’s Veterans, made her partnership with Pets For Vets a perfect fit. The second she learned of our organization, she knew she wanted to be a part of it.
In her free time, she loves playing with her tuxedo cat Fergie (who she rescued from the rafters at a former job), spending time with her friends and family, traveling and exploring the great outdoors.
Nicole is very much looking forward to growing Pets for Vets Las Vegas and helping to heal our Veterans and save the lives of abandoned animals!
"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
