about retired service animals and why they deserve the best medical treatment.

The National Fund for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA) is a fantastic organisation that addresses the financial costs and care of retired service animals across the country. Their main aims are to assist those caring for retired animals by subsidising vet bills and other related expenses, while also promoting the extraordinary work service animals do.
