MAP has been in operation for the last 8 years (formerly Pets For Vets Ventura County, CA). Ventura County has 3 Naval Bases and a large Military community.
On March 9, 2022, Military Animal Project (MAP) expanded and launched a new N. Nevada Chapter. We have been organizing, building a volunteer base and searching for a permanent facility to run our programs. We are happy to announce that on August 31, 2022 we purchased a 22 acre Equine& Dog Training Facility in Reno, NV. This will provide us a consistent meeting place, facility to provide over night housing for the veterans during our equine program and a training facility for our service dogs during training. We need volunteers with equine experience, dog trainers (training fees provided), social media, PR/Mktg, volunteer coordinator, events coordinator, therapy dog/handlers (need to be certified through Alliance of Therapy Dogs), to name a few.
We provide military veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTS(D), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Anxiety and Depression a means to heal through; Therapy, Emotional Support, Service Dogs & our Equine Buddies Program. All of our services are provided at NO CHARGE to our Military Veterans.
