Mission Statement Providing returning Veterans/active Military and their immediate families with home furnishings, and unite them with a rescued animal. At Patriots and Paws we fill a gap where there is need. Our Veterans/active Military can get help with housing in the forms of special loans and a special type of HUD housing, but with a roof over there head, many don't have basic things like dishes, sheets, a couch, end table, etc. That is where we will fill the gap. We help our Veterans/active Military and their immediate families with furniture and small necessities needed. The animals will help provide companionship therapy for the Veterans and their families against post-traumatic stress. Our future plans include a kennel for the animals we rescue. We will also provide returning Active Military and their immediate families with information and resources they can use to become successful in returning home and re-start their lives back in the civilian world.
