Please note the veteran seems to be technologically challenged and has never sent us any pictures, but we MUST have quality digital pictures of Tyler and Otis in order to publish his story. Feel free to ask/suggest if a friend, neighbor, coworker, etc. can take/send the pictures.

• Why member decided to adopt through Pets for Patriots
• Why member chose his/her pet in particular
• How the pet has helped him/her
• Member's experience with Pets for Patriots
• What s/he would say to another veteran who is considering adopting a companion pet
• If s/he is using our local veterinary partner: anything to add about experiences with them
• Anything else that naturally arises through the course of the interview
