Help for Service Members with Dogs During Deployment

If a service member has a family, they don’t have to worry too much about what will happen to their dog when they have to be away from home. However, for single-service members, or those in other situations, they might need to find a good place for their pet to go while they are deployed overseas. Luckily these organizations can help:

Dogs on Deployment

Dogs on Deployment is a non-profit that finds volunteers to board pets while their owners are deployed or away on other service-related commitments.

Their mission is to give military members peace of mind when they have to be away from their pets.

In addition, they:

  • Advocate for military pet owner rights on military installations
  • Provide educational resources for military members about responsible pet ownership
  • Grant financial assistance to military members for help with their pet’s care during emergencies
  • Promote healthy pet lifestyles, including spaying and neutering, insurance options, and vaccinations
  • Connect with community organizations to ensure Dogs on Deployment resources are available to military families

Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pets

This is an all-volunteer military and veteran support organization that assists active duty, wounded warriors, veterans, and their companion animals or assistance service canines through various assistance programs.

Their Pet Foster Home Program assists by offering deploying members of the military with foster homes for their pets and offers a Military Pet Assistance (MPA) fund for assisting “homeless veterans” with veterinary care and temporary boarding costs.

PACT

PACT, People + Animals = Companions Together, helps hospital patients and military personnel by placing their pets into temporary foster homes. Since their first placements in 2012, they have facilitated the placement of over 1,000 companion pets nationwide.

Other Military Discounts for Dog Owners

Dog Parks – Dog parks that charge a fee might also offer a military discount. Make sure to check their website before you go.

There are a few other ways that you can save money when you have a pet. You can check out the veterinarian’s office on your local installation. Many offer most of the services you might need, however they are not available everywhere. Pet insurance can cut down on your vet bills, and having a pet budget can keep you on track when it comes to other expenses.

Don’t forget that many small pet supply and pet services companies don’t advertise military discounts.  However, they are happy to offer one if you ask.
