MILITARY ANIMAL PROJECT LAUNCHES N. NEVADA CHAPTER

CARSON CITY, NV – March 9, 2022 – It is our pleasure to announce the launch of our new Chapter,
Military Animal Project (MAP) in N. Nevada. After 8 years successfully working with Veterans in Ventura
County, CA, MAP has decided to launch a second Chapter to provide its much needed animal support
services to Veterans in this area.

Mission Statement:
We provide military Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTS(D), Traumatic Brain
Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Anxiety and Depression – comfort, support, companionship,
and a means to heal through;

• Emotional Support or Psychiatric Service Dogs professionally trained specifically for the
  Veteran’s needs. The level to be determined on the recommendation of Veteran’s
  therapist/doctor.
• Certified Therapy Dogs visit Veterans in nursing homes, assisted living, rehabilitation, therapy sessions, VA hospitals, hospice facilities, Vet Centers, and also in the privacy of their own home.
• Equine Buddies Program (EBP). Helps the Veteran form a close bond with the horse and is an insight on how to earn trust & respect in order to gain leadership qualities.

All of our services are provided at NO COST to the Veteran. This is our way of saying, “Thank You For
Your Service”.

“The last 2 years were challenging with COVID 19. Because MAP’s programs are one on one between
the Volunteers and Veterans, COVID 19 limited our ability to provide our services. But, with restrictions
lifted this year, we are looking forward to getting back to a full program, while expanding our reach into
N. Nevada,” said Bob Horrell, MAP Co-Founder/Executive Director.

With more than 80,000 Veterans living in N. Nevada, MAP has been welcomed enthusiastically by many
Veteran Organizations. However, in order to meet the Veteran’s needs, we need Volunteers and Dog
Trainers. MAP is looking for a dedicated team of talented volunteers!

About Military Animal Project (MAP) –

Military Animal Project (EIN: 46-5544969) was developed and launched out of the former 2014 non-profit organization, Pets For Vets Ventura County, CA (PFV VCC). After 4 years of working with Ventura County local Veterans, Co-Founders Bob Horrell, (Vietnam Navy Veteran) Executive Director, along with Mardu Lydick, President, realized that there was a much greater need for Therapy, Emotional Support (ESD) and Psychiatric Service Dogs. On May 7, 2018, MAP officially launched creating a unique opportunity to positively impact the lives of many of our local Heroes through animal support services. All of MAP’s programs/services are provide at NO COST to the Veteran. This is our way of saying, “Thank You For Your Service.” For more information, visit - http://militaryanimalproject.com
