Soldier's Pets needs Homes
Meadowlands, PA:

Today is Sam's last day at his home, his owners will be shipping out on Friday for Germany. On Thursday 4 May, he will go to Angel Ridge Rescue in PA. Sam will still need a home and a family to love him! Sammy's owners are being deployed to Germany, their housing does not permit pets. They urgently need to find Sammy a good home and have not been successful in doing that. They have had Sammy since he was a puppy and are hoping a loving indoor home can be found for him as soon as possible. Sammy is an 8 year old Germ Shep/Husky mix. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccines, housebroken and walks nicely on a leash. Sammy has always been an only dog. He has never been around cats but does not pay much attention to those who wander into his yard. He seems to like most other dogs who are his neighbors and some of those he meets on his walks. Sammy has never lived with children. So we really don't know how he would be with them. He is a well behaved doggy and knows most basic commands.

Jewel & Rebel in Florida:

Our Soldier recently returned from Iraq and will soon be deployed again, we are in need of adoptive homes because our Soldier plans to make the military a career. This will continue to be a problem for us as to where will we stay while he is away from home for long periods of time. We will miss him, but we need a stable place to rest our heads and call home. Jewel is a 2 yr Black lab mix female, she is as nice and sweet as she can be. Rebel is a 2 yr male Boxer- Bulldog mix and is very sweet, but less confident and relies on Jewel to help him feel secure. Children make him a bit nervous so he should not go where there are small children. They are housebroken, indoor dogs and are well-behaved and very loving. The soldier wishes for them to find homes where they would not be seperated. Both dogs are about 50-55 pounds. Jewel has allergic reactions to distemper shots. They are fed two cups of Iams dry dog food a twice a day.

Mascots Seeking Donation Support
Afghanistan Mascots seeking support for May arrival's.

Mick's soldier writes: I saved this puppy from being run over while out on patrol in Southern Afghanistan. When I first saved Mick, she was only 5 weeks old. Mick is now a little over 3 months old and has grown into my best friend. Although she is relatively young, she has learned to do things like wait outside the gym when I go to do a workout. Mick will sit outside without running off and just wait till I finish my workout and them go with me back to the barracks. I have been able to keep her in my barracks during the winter and now that things are warming up I need to try and get her back to the US so I am not ordered to release her. My mother and father have agreed to keep Mick till I get back from here sometime this Summer. Anything you can do to help me bring Mick back would be greatly appreciated. Mick is one of the more positive things that has happened to me while here in Afghanistan, and I would like to raise her in an environment where she will be loved and not have to worry about being shot or blown up by a land mine like so many of the stray dogs here are. Thank you for considering helping Mick get to the US.

Top Secret's Soldier writes: Top Secret was found on a roadside in Afghanistan when she was about 6 weeks old. She was originally named for a suspected bad guy we were looking for in the area, but we got tired of saying, "well, that's top secret," when people asked what her name was, so Top Secret it became. We are stationed at a fairly remote base, and T.S. has been an invaluable touch of home for us when we're feeling down. She is anxiously awaiting a trip back to the States, where my family is waiting for her. Thank you for supporting T.S. and Military Mascots.
