For those with Military Friends/Family

A friend of a friend of mine lost his dog because he was deployed and his family decided to just hand it off to a shelter... and surprise it was put down :( Imagine how happy he was when he came back from service....

So! Just a little FYI if anyone has friends or family being deployed with house pets who need some help until they come home!

We are a retired military and live an hour away from Fort Bragg. We see notices in the paper and everywhere,soldiers looking for safe homes for their pets. Every living thing is effected by a war.

When we lived in MS and Patti was deployed, I worked at the local humane society. I remember a day when a guy walked in with two beautiful cats. His "girlfriend" had been deployed. He didn't want to "mess with" the cats and just dropped them off. I often thought of that lady airman who, when she came home from dealing with war and death, was going to be slapped with the news that her cats had been unceremoniously given away. You know she got off the bus or plane thinking she would walk in her door to the greeting of meows and instead got dead silence. Sad. So sad.
