Pets for Patriots, Inc.

Pets for Patriots vision and ultimate goal is to end animal homelessness in the United States by facilitating the adoption of at-risk shelter pets with every available, able and willing military veteran. In support of this objective, our goals:

- Continue to find ways to expand the pool of qualified adopters, serving more veterans and saving more pets
- Expand our sponsor network to include more nationally-operating brands that provide goods/services to help lower the overall costs of pet ownership for veterans in our program
- Expand our overall veterinary care network to provide the most robust options for our adopters and their pets
- Collaborate with sponsoring organizations that are aligned with our values and aim to support our lifesaving work

- Continue to develop free tools and assets for our adoption and veterinary partners to promote our work together and reach more potential beneficiaries.
- Pursue all channels, online and offline, for sharing our adoption success stories.
- Better communicate all the ways individuals, businesses and others can support our work and mission.
- Continue to educate the public about the benefits of companion pet adoption writ large, and particularly for our nation's military veterans and their families.
- Embrace a philosophy of continuous improvement so that we are always looking for ways to serve our beneficiaries more effectively and efficiently.

- Leverage technology to enhance our operational capabilities at the lowest possible cost; we will continue to invest/innovate in this area.
- Develop and pursue partnerships that align with our mission and goals.
- Unique program focus and expertise in the placement of hard-to-adopt companion animals with veterans.
- Dedicated staff who are each committed to outstanding service to our beneficiaries, partners, sponsors and donors.
- Independent and diverse Board of Directors that invest our organization with the requisite expertise, temperament, and passion to meet our goals.

Pets for Patriots is unique in being open to veterans at any stage of their careers and our singular focus on hard-to-adopt shelter pets. As a result we continue to receive increased demand for our program in communities across the country, large and small.

As of early 2023 we have accomplished nearly 4,000 veteran-pet adoptions, saving lives at both ends of the leash.

Moving forward we will continue to invest in technologies to improve our already agile veteran application processes; continue to reduce dormancy and remove nonparticipating organizations among the more than 825 shelter and veterinarian partners in our program; share more impacts of our donors' generosity; and nurture casual website visitors into advocates for our mission.
