Petition: Bring Healing Animals Into Veteran Recovery Now

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs must do more to Support veterans battling PTSD, substance use, and mental health challenges. Over 19.7 million Americans faced substance use disorders in 2017 alone, many of them veterans also struggling with trauma and addiction.

Animals offer powerful emotional Support and healing. That’s why the PAWsitive Recovery Program combines the comfort of animal companionship with veteran recovery services. It’s time the VA made this a national priority.

This program gives shelter animals and veterans a second chance—through therapy animals, animal-assisted recovery workshops, and treatment programs. Both humans and animals benefit.

Veterans deserve more than medication—they deserve love, Support, and connection. Animals can help provide that.

Sign the petition now to urge the VA to integrate the PAWsitive Recovery Program nationwide. Help make a difference—sign today.
