A Pets For Vets Match Story
184-Steve and Wrangler.png

Steve and Wrangler

September 2nd, 2021, and quickly my life changed. Wrangler started taking car rides with me, and my anxiety I had while driving almost disappeared. He sleeps in a bed next to mine, and my nightmares have gone away. He hangs out with me at the house while my family is gone, and I don't feel alone. I've started exercising again, eating healthy and constantly doing chores around the house.

I feel like a completely new person and everywhere I go, Wrangler comes along. I'm no longer scared to go on hikes, because he joins me, and I'm not afraid to try new things or meet new people. It's like Wrangler is always telling me, "It's ok, we got this." He has become my best friend, and I love him. I can never thank Pets for Vets enough, from all the leaders and board members down to every volunteer in my state and all over the nation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do. Thank you for bringing two souls, even a Therapeutic Interactive Pet soul, together, so that no matter what we will always have a companion.
