It's A Win-Win Situation

It's A Win-Win Situation
Shelter Pets For Veterans It can be hard for many veterans to adjust to civilian life. They have to start all over again -- build relationships, establish a routine and find ways to manage the stress of what they experienced on their tours of duty. Meanwhile, millions of animals are sitting in shelters, waiting for the day when they can be taken to a home of their own.

Congress has decided to address both of these issues with the Dog Training Therapy Act. It requires the Department of Veteran Affairs to start a pilot program that would pair veterans with shelter animals. This gives the veterans a way to manage Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and helps homeless animals find their forever home.
