Thank you for your service, Keisha, and for being a hero to a pet in need!

Keisha serves in the Army National Guard and just added two year-old Toby to her pack. Thanks to our partners @bmorehumane Toby's adoption fee was waived, and this big pup's 'welcome home' gift card and year of post-adoption follow up are generously sponsored by a grant we received from @veteransunitedfoundation ...woot!!

On Memorial Day we reflect upon the men and women

On Memorial Day we reflect upon the men and women who died while serving in the United States armed forces - and give gratitude and comfort to our Gold Star families whose loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

The holiday is not about the sales, the barbecues, the day off from work. But that our lives as we know them were made possible in large part by brave souls who died in service, please pause from whatever you are doing today to remember that freedom is not free - and while all veterans give some, some have given all.

**THIS** is what rescued looks like/sounds like:

"She has been such a joy to me. She loves me and I love her. Thank you assisting me with giving her a forever home." ~ Lisa, Army veteran, on her one-year adoption anniversary to Nala.

The now 8 year-old cat was in the care of our partners @phillypaws which waives adoption fees for veterans in our program. Please consider older pets when you adopt; they have so much joy to give!

Pets for Patriots alums Chadwick (black dog) and 1

Pets for Patriots alums Chadwick (black dog) and 12 year-old Bowser (brown dog) on a little @petsmart shopping spree!

Bowser was adopted in 2012 and is now battling terminal cancer. His mom and dad tell us that his diagnosis doesn't stop Bowser from enjoying life to the fullest, whether that's shopping with brother Chadwick, visiting the beach, or ending the day with a nice puppacino!

Freedom ride for Florence!! This 4+ year-old brin

Freedom ride for Florence!!

This 4+ year-old brindle beauty was in the shelter since mid-November without any takers, despite her love of people and other dogs. For most of her life she was left outside with little care til her rescue.

But last week her ship came in! Florence (now Maze) set sail with Kalani, who serves in the Navy, and who shares that:

"She’s living the life and she’s so affectionate! Glad that she’s in my life."

Thanks to our partners @norfolkspca for giving Maze the time she needed to find her humans, and for waiving adoption fees for the veterans we serve. Anchors aweigh, Maze! ⚓
