A way to support troop morale and help pets too!
I just heard about this project run by the SPCA International.

Apparently, soldiers and their units are not supposed to take in pets while serving overseas, which is understandable, but it is none the less happening because our brave ones are so lonely and the animals they are taking in are close to death and the soldiers want to help them.

However, when the soldiers come home, it hurts to leave their beloved fur buddy companions behind. So, the SPCA International has set up a way to help bring these pet companions home to the soldiers who took them in, loved, and cared for them.

Of course, donations are needed, but even ten dollars helps.

If you are interested, check out the website at http://baghdadpups.com or the SPCA website at http://spca.com for more info.
