The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced a partnership with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to encourage veterans to consider pet ownership and volunteer opportunities with local humane societies in an effort to pair Veterans with rescued animals. VA and the HSUS will build model programs and networks with community organizations in order to establish connections with local VA medical facilities, making it easier to link veterans with animals ready for adoption in their local communities.
