A soldier stumbles upon a listless dog. They trade glances. The soldier
speaks a few sympathetic words and offers the pup a pat on the head.
In this seemingly mundane exchange, both of their lives
are forever changed. In the dog, the soldier finds
companionship, hope and a sense of normalcy that’s been missing
since their deployment. In the soldier, the dog finds safety,
comfort and an affection it has never known. Over the days and months ahead, the soldier
and this stray dog form an unbreakable bond made only stronger by
the stresses of war. And then, it’s time for
the soldier to return home - without their war torn pup.
No Dog Gets Left Behind
provides financial support to reunite active military with the stray dogs
they bond with while deployed in a war zone - a $5,000-per-dog expense that
includes vaccines, medical treatment, transportation and more. While the
financial investment is high, the relief, comfort and joy this program provides our troops is immeasurable. To date we have funded over 150+ soldier/dog reunions.
