Marine Mom - NJ
My son is a Marine with pets that
his family were able to care for when he was deployed twice to the sandbox.
What a wonderful caring thing to do for our Soldiers serving their country.
Thanks for giving me some faith again in the goodness of us Americans - A Proud
Marine Mom
KG - MS
Being prior military and understand
the need, so as long at this program or others like it exist we will open our
home to the pets in need. Thank you to our service men and women and to
groups that help them and their families and their animals.
TS - AR
In these times of war, it is every
Americans' responsibility to help in any way they can. I ask every person
who visits this site to get involved any way possible. God Bless America
and all Americans.
BM - NC
I'm so glad I found this site.
Thank you and God Bless our military men and women. I'm signing up to help
and being an animal lover, couldn't imagine having to leave them behind. I
hope we all can help.
A - GA
Wanted to send congrats to all of
the people on this website that are willing to take care of our troops' animals.
I know it is not a task for everyone and sure that all of the troops that do not
have anyone to care for them give thanks everyday that their best friends are
being taken care of.
RE - AZ
While searching the internet for
info on a project I'm working on. Congratulations to everyone for working
so hard to make this such a success for our military, they certainly deserve all
our help and thanks
DZ - WY
Thank you for remembering the
animals in this crisis.
East Coast Hero
Thank you for all
your help. The sacrifice your group and its members make in opening up their
homes to other peoples pets is huge and should not go unnoticed. Due to
suggestions from your Arkansas and Minnesota Chapters that I found a Rescue
Group in my area who will assist in ensuring my pets are cared for in their
home environment. Thanks to your suggestions, my pets are now able to stay in
the home they know and love, although I know my pets would have been happy if
they had had to go to the foster home you had found for them. I can't thank
you enough for the service you provide.
SPC MT - NY
I am a returning
soldier from OIF. I was fortunate enough to have a family who could care
for my pets
while I was deployed.
My pets are an important part of my life and I would have been devastated had
I
not been able to have them cared for. I will
be glad to offer my home to any soldier who needs to place
his/her pet while
deployed.
PS - Near CT
I heard about your
organization through Military. COM and think this is a wonderful idea. My
husband
is active duty Navy
and we had never heard of the services you offer.
SPC SMD - WI
I would like to
thank all of the "Guardian Angels" for their participation in such a program as
this.
Pets are an important
part of a family. Thank you for your kindness and support.
RH - MI
This is an
awesome idea! If you find someone in need please contact me.
S - MD
What a great
idea, I bet a lot of people don't even think of pets whey they think of what
military
families go through during
deployments. As the "mother" of two terriers and the wife of an Air Force
man, this strikes my heart. I would be more than
willing to take in a dog while it's owner is deployed.
TP - NJ/Germany:
Absolutely love this
cause. I passed this article I read on to my mom, a lover of animals and
the armed
forces, so I know
she'll love this idea as well and is networked on a lot of message boards, so
will probably
help get the word out as well.
RSF (USCG-Retired) - MA:
We believe in the
silent, yet powerful support of pets!
K - VA:
This sounds like a
great program and I hope it spreads to other parts of the country. Keep up
the great
work.
R - CA:
This is excellent!
Our pets mean so much to us and ask for so little in return. To know your
pet is in
the care of someone
who will give them the love and attention they deserve will put the mind at ease
and let the serviceperson's attention be on
other issues.
B - KY (originally):
This is such a great
idea. We had to leave our lil girl and our horse as well when hubby got
order to
S. Korea. Luckily our lil girl
is staying with a couple of his friends who think she is the best lil dog.
I will be sure to pass this link to all my online buds.
L
- VA:
What you are doing is
simply special. I will be more than happy to help in your great project.
M
- CA:
This touches my heart
in an amazing way. As the proud new owner of a rescued kitten, I'm going
to share this website
with all of the pet-lovers I know.. both military and non-military. I
would be
proud to be involved with this organization.
TL (USMC Retired) - CA:
I think you have a
great idea. I have many people I send e-mails to and am going to send your
website
to them.
M (Active Duty-Navy Sr Chief) -
FL:
This is one of the most
thoughtful ideas I heard of in my 24 years of military service. Great program!!!
Keep it up.
I will be glad to publicize this organization at my command.
H
- NH:
I would like to help
raise funds or start a chapter of your organization. I am a member of the
military and am very
happy to see that someone has thought of this worthwhile cause. I have
four pets
and if I deploy or go on a remote tour
and am lucky that I have family who are willing to take them
if I go. I
have always wondered how I would feel if I
didn't have that outlet and I'm glad to see that
now other members of the
military will not have to worry either.
Thank you.
DB - OK:
I have a dog and 3 cats
of my own, but would gladly keep a pet of any military member assigned overseas.
I was a military
spouse for 34 1/2 years and had to give up a couple of pets over that time
frame.
JR - WA:
I think this is a great
site and you all are doing a tremendous service. I am located in the
middle
of 3 bases (Army, Air Force, Navy)
and it would be nice if chapters could start near all military bases.
MH
- KY:
I think this is really
great. To think that I would have to leave my babies not knowing if they
would
get love, food, water, and a
nice place to sleep and play time would break my heart. If you need our
help to care for a man or ladies loved baby pet, we sure
would love to do so.
J - IL:
I think this is a
wonderful thing you are doing for our troops.. as a pet owner I know how much
one's
pet means to them.. the
joy and solace they bring. God bless you in your endeavor.
D - NJ:
God bless you all for
doing such a wonderful thing for our service members and their pets! Keep
up the great work!
B
- WA:
Thank you so much for
what you are doing. I am a single reservist who may be faced with the
problem of having to leave my two "kids" if deployed. Now I know that there is an option and
that there
are people out there who understand the importance
of pets and are willing to help.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for
your caring and dedication to our troops. You are a
true inspiration.
A
- NH:
Just got a press
release from the DOD about your program. As a veteran myself, I salute
you.
What a wonderful, wonderful
thing you are doing. Thank you for looking out for those who
can't speak
for themselves and giving their owners an alternate that
they will be at peace with
during their deployment.
PW - FL:
Awesome site - great
that someone thought of their pets.
A - OR:
I didn't know that
someone was offering this for their soldiers. God bless you. I am very
glad that someone had this vision.
C
- AZ/WA/DC:
This is a great thing
you folks are doing! Too often, no thought is given to the
flying/walking/swimming partners in our
deployed soldier's lives. Keep up the great work. Each and
everything
positive that communities do to ease the deployed
(Active, Reservist, Guardsmen) soldier's concerns
helps that soldier to
concentrate on their mission. Thank you all.
