Companion Animal Program

Paws and Stripes's Companion Animal Program is a 90-day therapeutic program open to Veterans and their family members that participants achieve with their pet/rescue. Teams complete many of the same trainings as our Veterans Service Dog Program, but the animal serves only as buddy, helping them address their trauma at counseling sessions, psyche ed classes, and group therapy that’s frequency varies by the needs of the client.
