I am happy to announce that Portland, Maine has an official Chapter for the Pets for Vets Program and I am the official trainer of the canines for this wonderful program. I will be assessing, training and matching dogs with Veterans in need of a companion dog.
Tom Targett, Chapter Director is to be recognized and thanked for his dedication in getting this Portland Chapter off and running. Tom is an ideal Director as a returning Veteran himself and his understanding and love of dogs.
Our mission at the Pets for Vets program is to help support veterans while providing a second chance for shelter pets by rescuing, training and pairing them with veterans right here in our community who could benefit from a companion animal.
I am pleased to inform you that we will be introducing our first match early in December! I am not sure who is more excited about this upcoming match? Tom, my self or our Veteran, we are all simply joyful to be a part of this first match!
