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 80+ soldier/dog reunions.

SOLIDERS/DOG
PVT CINCU
"This little guy has an unknown chance to make it out here. He's embedded in a rough pack
of dogs but it's dog eat dog out here. At night we hear the screeches and barking of many of the dogs while we sleep including the pups being in the middle of the dog battles getting hurt. A lot of the dogs are riddled with injuries, incorrectly healed broken
limbs and lacerations. I'm expecting this to be expensive and I can't afford it right now. I found Pvt Cincu (aka Snowball) alone in Cincu, Romania."
FOX
Over the next two weeks, I made it my daily mission to keep the
puppies and the mom alive. From bringing them fresh water and food throughout
the day, to scaring off predators on base, to figuring out ways to keep them
cool throughout the miserably hot days, tending to their wellbeing was a
fulfilling (if taxing) goal. And when the base took fire at one point during
their stay, I found myself thinking about their safety in the midst of the
chaos. That’s when I knew I had to take one home. And that’s when I discovered
Fox.
