VLP Thrift Shop operates at 10433 Friars Rd, Suite F, in San Diego's Grantville neighborhood, 92120, as the retail fundraising arm of Vets Love Pets, a nonprofit organization that connects military veterans and service members with companion animals to support mental health recovery. The thrift shop stocks donated clothing, household goods, and collectibles, with all proceeds funding pet-adoption assistance, a pet-food program for veteran households, and community-building events that bring veterans together around animal companionship. Vets Love Pets also operates pop-up thrift booths at farmers' markets across San Diego, including a recurring presence at the Liberty Station Farmers Market, extending its fundraising reach beyond the Grantville storefront. The Friars Road location sits at the eastern edge of the Mission Valley commercial zone, accessible from the 8 freeway and within the same Grantville service cluster where Mission Valley Pet Clinic provides veterinary care for the dogs, cats, and other animals that VLP helps place with veteran adopters. The pet-food program accepts applications from veterans who need ongoing nutritional support for their companion animals, reducing the financial barrier that can prevent a veteran from keeping a pet that provides measurable emotional and psychological benefit. VLP's adoption pipeline works with shelters and rescue organizations across San Diego County, matching veterans with dogs, cats, and other animals based on lifestyle, housing, and therapeutic need. The thrift shop's inventory turns over regularly, with donated items sorted and priced by volunteers who include veterans participating in the organization's own community-engagement programming. Grantville's concentration of outdoor and veteran-serving resources extends to the Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation, whose trail-access programming offers the kind of outdoor activity that complements VLP's companion-animal model for veteran wellness. The organization's founder, Nelson, has built the program around research linking pet ownership to reduced symptoms of PTSD, depression, and social isolation among veterans, positioning VLP at the intersection of animal welfare and veteran mental health services in San Diego.
