In the desert, a lonely
soldier stumbles upon a listless dog. They trade glances. The soldier
speaks a few sympathetic words and offers the pathetic pup a pat on the back.
The dog whimpers. And in this seemingly mundane exchange, both of their lives
are forever changed. In the four-legged creature, the soldier finds
companionship, hope and a sense of normalcy that’s been missing in his life
since he found his way to Afghanistan. In the soldier, the dog finds safety,
comfort and an affection he’s never known. Over the days and months ahead, man
and his beloved new best friend form an unbreakable bond made only stronger by
the stresses of war, chaos, destruction and discord. And then, it’s time for
the soldier to return home - without his battle buddy.
No Dog Gets Left Behind
provides financial support to reunite military personnel with the stray animals
they found and bonded with while at war - a $4,500-per-pet expenditure that
includes vaccines, medical treatment, transportation and more. While the
financial investment is high, the relief, comfort and joy this program provides
soldiers is immeasurable. To date we have brought home over 40 dogs to be reunited with his/her soldier.

FUNDRAISING FOR
RIFLE
Rifle was born into a treacherous situation for a puppy, Kunduz province
Afghanistan is not the most ideal place to grow up for anyone. Luckily, he was
born under my shipping container/home... where our team took to him and his
brothers and sisters. We have really taken a liking to each other, to the point
I'd like to have him sent back to Indiana to be a permanent part in my family's
life... To do this however is unbelievably expensive, legal loop holes,
vaccines, international quarantines, shipping, room and board all comes out to
around $4,500.... that being said, it is my mission to get this little guy
home, and like any good soldier I intend to complete this mission successfully!
MONKEY
Working around the world with the military
it’s not uncommon to find yourself in less than hospitable locations, and it
can be hard to find a friendly face. The exception being the numerous
stray dogs that are always around and quickly become friends, pets and mascots
of the base. These dogs are so grateful and happy to be treated well
and fed they immediately become loyal companions and you can’t help but want to
save them all. Monkey is no exception. I first encountered Monkey walking between
camps outside a village in Africa, I heard a low playful growl and turned to
see a skinny one-eyed dog looking back at me. Her looks were
intimidating at first, but then she jumped up and ran/hopped over to me and
rolled over at my feet, I immediately fell for her. When I heard the
rest of her story, how she lost her eye defending her puppies from a monkey I
knew she had great character, and couldn’t help feel for her after all of her
puppies disappeared. Monkey is a great dog and has
earned a life of playing, sleeping and steady meals. Please help me
bring her home.
