Pet Adoption: Process & requirements
What is an eligible pet adoption?
Our goal is to give the most overlooked, undervalued dogs and cats a second chance at life through adoption.
The hard truth is that a majority of these types of companion pets will be killed or, if in a “no kill” facility, can languish for months – or years – without a home or family to call their own.

Veterans must be approved by Pets for Patriots prior to pet adoption, and must adopt a pet meeting ONE of the above criteria from any of our program partners
*Special needs: birth defect, disability, or chronic medical condition, any of which must require lifelong care. Not sure if a pet qualifies? Ask us before you adopt!
