On Monday, Veterdans Day, Gordmans military members and veterans will be connected with pets by shopping at Gordmans. All Gordmans stores will donate five percent of the Nov. 11 Veterans Day sales, up to $50,000, to Pets for Patriots.

The national nonprofit helps veterans at all stages of their careers adopt the most overlooked dogs and cats, offering them a second chance at life through adoption.

When Gordmans guests shop on Veterans Day, Pets for Patriots can help ensure veterans find, adopt and afford lifetime care for their adopted pets. Donations allow Pets for Patriots to provide welcome home contributions for each adoption, and follow up with every veteran who adopts for at least one year. In addition the nonprofit procures discounts to help veterans in the program save money on pet health insurance, medication, pet food, treats and supplies, all while giving access to affordable pet care from veterinary partners in the communities they serve.
