Pet 66 Program
Partnering Shelter Pets With Veterans in Need
The Pets 66 program is the newest program to be developed within the Comanche County Pet Resource Foundation. We bring Veterans together with rescue dogs to help both Veterans and their pets recover from trauma. The dogs who come into our program are struggling with a traumatic life event, whether it's a physical injury or mental crisis.
We provide training and support for the dog, and then match the dog with a Veteran to continue the training and support that each need to move forward in life.
The Pet 66 program supports the matched pair throughout the life of the team, including training and veterinary care.
The Pet 66 program is funded by community donations and grants. There is no cost to our veterans for the life of the dog/Veteran team. Fees for this program will be waived for any US Veteran who meets ONE the following requirements.
Veterans shall present one of the following documents at the time of the placement interview:
-
Veteran identification card
-
State issued license with a veteran designation
-
Form DD214 military discharge certificate
-
Honorable discharge certificate
-
Letter from the US Military Center
-
Letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs Services and Benefits Program

Boomer

Boomer came to the Foundation from Cache Animal Welfare. Boomer had a dislocated hip that didn't get medical attention in time for his hip to heal properly. Boomer had part of his upper leg removed and has spent 10 weeks on strict crate rest. Boomer is now healed enough to begin his basic training.
Boomer is a shy dog who will need support and guidance to show him that this world we live in isn't so scary. Boomer needs to heal his mind and his body. Boomer is a very sweet, affectionate dog who would love to meet you and become your best friend.

ADOPTED!
Breed: Super Mutt
Age: 1 Year
Oliver was picked up by Cache Animal Control after he was hit by a car on Hwy 62. Oliver has a broken leg that will need to heal. Oliver is not having splints and casts on his leg, so we will be exploring other options for his healing process.
Oliver is always in a good mood! He smiles when anyone comes to visit him, even right after he was hit and in significant pain. He is the sweetest soul.
Oliver is new here and we are still exploring the best options for his broken leg. He will be ready for his training when his leg has been properly cared for.
