Numbers tell the tale of the tails
Pets for Patriots is committed to ending animal homelessness. We want every shelter animal - big, small, young and old - to find its forever home. Together with our supporters, donors, sponsors and partners, we have the ability to liberate shelter animals from near certain death and the chance to show gratitude to our country’s patriots.
Pets for Patriots member Patriots receive a minimum 10% off standard fees from our member veterinarians, as well as reduced cost pet care products and services from our participating providers, retailers and partners.
Current state of animal homelessness
From the Humane Society of the United States:
- 6-8 million dogs and cats are relinquished to shelters every year
- At least half of those animals - up to 4 million a year - are killed, mostly due to lack of anyone to adopt them
- Only 30% of dogs and between 2%-5% of cats entering shelters are reclaimed by their owners
- 75% of shelter dogs are mixed breed
