At Dogs on Deployment, we believe that no military family should face the heartbreaking decision of giving up their beloved pets due to service commitments. Our mission is to provide peace of mind to service members by connecting them with dedicated volunteers who can care for their pets while they serve our nation. Through programs like our Hero Pet Boarding Network, we’ve created a nationwide network of boarders who offer safe, loving homes for pets during deployments, training, and emergencies.In addition, our Rich Setzer Memorial Fund provides financial aid for essential pet needs, from emergency veterinary care to relocation costs, ensuring that families stay together even under challenging circumstances. Every dollar we raise supports these services, helping military families avoid difficult choices and maintain the stability and companionship that pets provide.Your support makes a profound impact by keeping families united, reducing shelter relinquishments, and strengthening the bond between communities and military members. By donating or volunteering, you’re not just supporting our mission; you’re showing gratitude to those who serve. Join us in giving back to America’s heroes by helping them care for their loyal companions—because they shouldn’t have to serve without knowing their pets are safe and loved.
