Operation Baghdad Pups has gotten some press over the past few weeks with their efforts to bring home Ratchet, but many still don’t know why this organization was formed and why they need your support.
Our troops that served in Iraq need our help to save the dogs and cats they ‘adopted’ while in combat. These buddies helped our soldiers make it through their service and now they want to come home with them to the US. Sounds simple, but soldiers can face immediate court-marshal for befriending animals and some even see their animals brutally murdered by a direct gunshot to the head from commanding officers who will not bend the rules.
The SPCA International is working to re-unite American soldiers with the dogs they befriended while serving in Iraq, but they need your help. They not only need donations, but also help changing military policy regarding ‘adopted’ dogs in war zones.
Write your senators, tell your local news and scream it from tall buildings that policies need to be changed so our troops can have peace of mind that their dogs and cats will be allowed to travel home with them.
Even if you can’t donate money everyone has five minutes to write an email. This is such a small effort that would mean so much. Don’t wait, do it now as a “Thank You!” to our troops for making it possible for us to remain free and safe and help bring their buddies home.
