The team members at Pets for Vets are excited to bring a mutually beneficial organization to the Knoxville community! Our priority is to help veterans in our area by offering free individual and group therapy sessions which includes a plan for them to interact with rescue animals during their time at our office. Our goal is for the veterans to eventually adopt the animals as their therapy progresses, so the relationships that they build throughout their healing process may continue in their day-to-day life. If you have any questions about our organization, or want to contact us if you believe you could use our services, please feel free to contact us on our page! We look forward to updating you on the progress we make within the Knoxville area!
