Veterans Therapy Act Co-Sponsored By Santa Clarita Congressman Garcia Passes House Of Representatives
On Thursday, Representative Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, announced the passage of the Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers (PAWS) for Veterans Therapy Act through the House of Representatives.
The bipartisan legislation co-sponsored by Garcia and other lawmakers aims to create a pilot program within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that would give veterans of the U.S. army facing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental illnesses access to therapy dogs.
“I am proud to see Congress come together in a bipartisan manner to support our veterans,” Garcia said. “This bill would help veterans struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues by providing veterans greater access to therapy dogs.”

“I am pleased Congress was able to refund and reopen this program. I look forward to hearing from Small Business owners and administrators in the district to learn what is working, what isn’t working and answer any questions they may have,” Garcia said. “I am committed to doing all I can to ensure that our community combats and recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and that we can safely and quickly open up.”
