The Purrfect Nanny & Purrfect Pet Health Blog

Many of us never think about what happens to soldier’s beloved pets when the owner gets deployed. I must admit, although I am married to a veteran who spent 20 years in the US Army, the thought about soldiers pets never crossed my mind. Maybe because we were always fortunate that I was capable caring for our pets when my husband was in foreign counties fighting for his country and freedom for all US citizens. My wake-up call came a few days ago when I heard about the organization “Guardian Angels For Soldiers“. This nonprofit organization finds foster homes for Soldiers pets while they are deployed. I think everyone who wants to live in peace in this United States should in some way participate and support this group of volunteers in their efforts making a soldiers life less miserable. Just imagine you would have to leave your pet behind. How much better is it to know your pet is taken care of and you can re-unite once you return back home.
