Safe shelter
Our goal is to develop a place where veterans and their companion animals can stay together while they access help.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Helping veterans. Helping pets.
A charitable program of Arbecy Foundation serving veterans and their companion animals in Southern Nevada.
Keeping veterans and their pets together.
Because no veteran should have to choose between getting help and keeping the companion who stayed by their side.
Safe refuge Essential animal care Stronger communities
Our mission
A safe place for the whole family.
Nurturing hope. Protecting the bond.

A Monkey’s Uncle is developing a nonprofit initiative inspired by Eris, a rescued monkey whose second chance will help others find theirs.
A Monkey’s Uncle operates as a program of Arbecy Foundation. Funds raised support the Foundation’s charitable mission and the development of this initiative, with goals including veterinary assistance, temporary support, transportation assistance, and community programs that help veterans and their pets remain together during hardship.
Veterinary care
We aim to support access to examinations, treatment, medicine, and ongoing animal care.
Veterinary partnerships
We are seeking clinics and professionals interested in helping provide practical, dignified care.
Community support
We welcome local organizations, businesses, volunteers, and neighbors who want to help build this initiative.
“While we rescue Eris, Eris will help us rescue others.”
Meet our inspiration
Eris was rescued. Now her story can rescue others.
Eris is a rescued monkey receiving the love, care, and second chance she deserves. But her story is about much more than her own rescue.
Founder Allen Sarac envisioned a place where veterans can seek help without facing an impossible choice: leaving behind the animal who gives them comfort, emotional support, and unconditional loyalty.
One mission: support housing, veterinary care, and resources that keep families together.
