The problem
The US shelter system is broken. An estimated 5 to 6 million homeless animals are killed each year.
In parallel, the programs available for.returning veterans is limited and often filled to capacity. Approximately 18% or more than 67,000 of the homeless are veterans.
Pets and Vets USA is mending these systems, saving dogs, creating hope and re-building lives.
Join us and make a difference.

Pets and Vets USA began from a promise between a mother and a son. Peter Thomas Cangelosi and his mother, Carol Ann, pledged to make a difference by agreeing to donate time and resources to the local animal shelter. Unfortunately, Carol Ann became ill and passed in 2005.
In 2013, Peter renewed his promise, by pledging funds on death row
Pets and Vets USA began from a promise between a mother and a son. Peter Thomas Cangelosi and his mother, Carol Ann, pledged to make a difference by agreeing to donate time and resources to the local animal shelter. Unfortunately, Carol Ann became ill and passed in 2005.
In 2013, Peter renewed his promise, by pledging funds on death row dogs in shelters across the United States. Then Peter saved his first dog, "Truth" a bull dog/pit bull mix. The dog was minutes from being euthanized in a region where hundreds of thousands of pit bull mixes die every year. After a long journey, he joined Peter in Illinois and was renamed Miracle.
During this time, Peter learned more about the countless dogs euthanized and the homeless veterans who had put their life on the line. Peter decided to keep his promise to his mother and make a difference by helping homeless veterans so he founded
Pets and Vets USA, a 501c3 nonprofit.
