Join Us in Bringing Hope and Goodness to
Our Veteran’s Communities
America and our nation’s selfless veterans are issues we take very seriously; and our team works each day to make a positive impact.
Numerous veteran’s programs are in the works with many more to come. Benefits, job training, education and staffing are ways we support veterans in integrating into life after military. But some need more. Mental health services, support groups and the like should be readily accessible to every veteran, no matter their situation or location.
No veteran (and their service, therapy or companion animal) in America should ever be homeless or hungry – EVER. Which is why we launched "The Dagaz Project" in January 2021. Regardless of the need, Wellness Wishes is the mechanism to convey the gratitude to our country by funding veteran assistance programs, eliminating veteran homelessness, and making a difference in our heroes lives - just as they have made in ours.

RESCUED WISHES
The objective of our Rescued Wishes program is extremely powerful because it combines not one, but three areas of Wellness Wishes’ impact; and our mission is to save not one, but multiple lives by pairing rescued animals with forever, loving homes, placing them in the homes of veterans and first responder departments.
Through this program, we:
-
Save lives by rescuing animals from dangerous environments and situations, including kill shelters
-
Assist in pairing rescued animals in need of forever companions into safe and loving homes of our nation’s great veterans, and in first responder departments across the country
-
Provide a safe sanctuary for animals in temporary need of housing (ex: animals whose companions have been incarcerated, are undergoing recovery treatment, homeless seeking assistance, deployment, etc.)
-
Bring the amazing power of animal companionship and pet therapy to our veterans and first responder communities
-
Cover the cost of pet placement, as well as monthly expenditures for food and supplies
FIGHTING PTSD

Sharing
experiences
Last year, Major (Retired) Ken Landgren became part of the Wellness Wishes family when he graciously offered for us to read a paper he put together on his experience with PTSD and healing. We read through it and excitedly jumped on his offer to make this paper available for download here on our website. Ken's hopes are that it reaches as many military personnel, veterans and their families as possible in an effort to provide hope and healing. We wish for you to read this paper with as much enthusiasm as we did, and assist Wellness Wishes in offering support comfort and love to all those suffering from PTSD.
To comment on the paper, or leave a message for Ken, please go to our blog.
