Personal Fulfillment

Volunteering with therapy dogs provides a sense of purpose and joy by helping others.

Strengthening the Bond

Dogs enjoy spending more quality time with their owners, boosting trust and companionship.

Increased Well-Being

Therapy dogs can reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness, especially for veterans or individuals dealing with trauma or illness.

Here’s what people are saying about the Program

Team Nessy

Forever Changed My Life

VetPets has forever changed our family. We received a 13 week old puppy that we had to learn to take care of and train. This was so helpful because we got to bond with Nessy as she grew and we trained with her. What we didn't realize was how much we were growing at the same time. Meeting new people that have quickly become family to us.

Jillian McKinzie

Team Buddy

Vet Pets of SWPA has changed my life forever and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I never thought I could have this strong of a bond with my dog. I don’t know what I’d do without him! He has and always will be my best friend when I feel like I have nobody. I am forever grateful for this organization.
