About us
Pets for Vets® Ohio State is a student organization dedicated to supporting the efforts of the national charity and Columbus chapter of Pets for Vets®.
Pets for Vets® helps heal the emotional wounds of veterans who may be suffering from PTSD or TBI by pairing them up with a shelter dog at risk of being euthanized. The dogs are specially trained to cater to each veteran's emotional and physical needs. Pets for Vets® is dedicated to giving these animals and our brave veterans a second chance at a happy ending!
