Petition to the Minister of Veterans Affairs
- The OSI/PTSD service dog has been deemed to be a medical tool for effective use by veterans in need;
- It provides grounding for those whose lives have been turned upside down as a direct result of service to their country;
- Many organizations provide a service dog at no charge, however, the continuing daily and veterinary care is left for the veteran to provide;
- Unfortunately, countless members in the veteran community fall into the “needs” category; and
- Immediate action is required to provide funding and support of the provision of OSI/PTSD service dogs to vulnerable veterans as appropriate.
