Why VCAS?

Veteran Companion Animal Services

Founded in 2013, Veteran Companion Animal Services (VCAS) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose purpose is to serve veterans and/or military families through the benefits of the human-animal bond. To fulfill this purpose, VCAS focuses on placing rescue animals with veterans and military families where companion animal ownership will be beneficial. VCAS provides financial support that assists with general care costs, training, and veterinary expenses so that companion animal ownership is an option and not a burden. 

Rescue Dog Placements

Many service men and women return home finding that their structure and purpose have been lost. VCAS gets to know the veteran and matches them with a rescue dog that will fit their lifestyle and needs – creating a mutually beneficial relationship.

Dog Training Programs

The Frontline Dog Training Program is a 7-week long training class taught by a professional dog trainer. These trainings are open and at no cost to all veterans and military families that currently own a dog.

Veteran Community Outings

After a veteran receives a dog or attends a training class they are still a part of the VCAS family. The community events we host give veterans a chance to build lasting friendships and create an atmosphere to connect with other veterans and have fun.

Veteran Resources

We realize that veterans are a population that need our support and we take pride in being able to connect veterans with numerous resources to support them.
