I remember a post a while back about someone joining the military and looking for a home to foster their pup til they were back and able to take care of it. Today I ran across some great links for military families and soldier if they are going to war and need someone to care for pets while away.
Here's the info for anyone that needs it! pass it along!!
When soldiers deploy they often have to leave behind their beloved furry friends. It can be stressful worrying about a pet’s care during a year long deployment. Sometimes soldiers can rely on family members to care for their pet, but that is not always the case especially for single soldiers who live far from family members.
To alleviate concerns for a pet’s care, there are volunteer organizations that can help! These organizations match foster families with pets. Furry friends are well cared for during a soldier’s deployed and there is always a happy reunion when they return!
If you are interested in fostering a pet for a deployed soldier, you can also contact these organizations to be matched with a pet in need of care.
Contact the individual organization to find out more information.
