2026 VIVA Program (Vital Interim-Care for Veterans Animals)
Through the VIVA Program, To The ResQ provides temporary emergency care for the pets of Veterans who must enter the hospital, seek mental health treatment, or navigate an unexpected crisis. For many Veterans, their pets are a lifeline, offering comfort, stability, and emotional support. When a medical emergency arises, the fear of having nowhere safe for their animals often leads Veterans to delay or avoid the care they need.
VIVA removes that barrier. We provide safe boarding, food, supplies, and veterinary care when needed, ensuring every pet is protected while their person focuses on healing. No Veteran should ever have to choose between their own wellbeing and the safety of their beloved companion.
