About Pets for Patriots Military Discounts

Pets for Patriots is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2010 that pairs shelter animals (often the hardest to place) with members of the military community. It isn't a store or a coupon program; it's a membership program that makes adopting and caring for a companion pet more affordable for those who served. Eligibility requires at least 190 days of military service (basic and active-duty training excluded), and separated veterans must have an honorable discharge. The organization serves veterans of every era, from WWII through those currently serving, and runs a separate Gold Star program for spouses of the fallen. Applicants also need to live within roughly 40 driving miles of a partner shelter. Approved members who adopt through a partner shelter receive adoption discounts, ongoing veterinary discounts through partner networks, 20% off the first year of Vetster Plus telehealth, and a $200 pet retailer gift card for food and supplies. There's no fee to apply, and these Pets for Patriots military benefits are available year-round nationwide wherever partner shelters operate.
