Our Veteran Programs
Military Animal Project matches veterans with emotional support or service dogs trained to meet their specific needs. These dogs provide critical assistance with conditions like PTSD, TBI, anxiety, and depression, while strengthening independence, connection, and well-being. Every dog is carefully selected and trained in collaboration with the veteran.
This unique program uses guided horse interactions to help veterans build confidence, leadership, and emotional resilience. Veterans work hands-on with horses in a calm, structured environment designed to foster trust and healing. No riding experience is required—just a willingness to engage and grow.
Trained therapy dog teams visit veterans in hospitals, homes, and community settings to offer comfort, companionship, and emotional relief. These visits help reduce isolation, ease stress, and build trust through the healing power of animal connection. Over 65 teams are active across California and Nevada.
For veterans with animal companions, Military Animal Project offers emergency veterinary care, short-term boarding, and vital pet resources. These services ensure that no veteran has to choose between their well-being and the health of a beloved pet. The goal is to preserve the bond between veterans and their animals during times of need.
