A Pets For Vets Match Story

Stephen and Diamond

Stephen Pipkin served in the Air Force for seven years. He recently moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles and had been feeling quite lonely. He found out about the Pets for Vets program on the news in another city and decided to look into it here.

On Labor Day 2014, Stephen was paired up with Diamond, a lab mix.

Their story was profiled by Elizabeth Watts at KVVU-TV in Las Vegas. Below is an excerpt but you can read the full story and see the video here: http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/26422420/new-service-matches-vets-with-shelter-dogs
