Dr. Terry Morris
Executive Director & Founder
Dr. Morris recognizes the healing power of the animal-human bond. She is thankful to God and is honored to have this opportunity to serve our U.S. Military Veterans and animals, both of which are in need of love, companionship and healing.
Dr. Morris dedicated the Vets To Vets United, Inc. program to her father, who died during his tour of duty as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, and to her sister who also served as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force. Her father and sister are both graduates from the Tuskegee University Air Force pilot training program. Her sister was the first female to graduate from the Air Force ROTC pilot training program at Tuskegee University.
