When I think of war, I think of not only the hundreds and thousands of men and women being killed, but I think of the poor animals, running the streets, starving, looking for affection. Because of this, I was thrilled to hear about a group that is helping to save animals that are befriended by our soldiers. Animals that not only are receiving the attention and love that they deserve, but are returning the favor to the soldiers. They bring home a little bit of normality and peace to the soldiers. They also bring to the soldiers something to look forward to daily and escape for a few minutes the reality of the horror they are living in.
Baghdad Pups has become an very important part of rescuing these animals. The SPCA International has started Operation Baghdad Pups to help aide the soldiers in bringing back to the states the animals they have saved and that have saved them. It is run solely on donations, and can take up to $5,000 to bring just one animal back to the states. There are certain stipulations which the animal and soldier must meet in order to become part of this fantastic program. Foster homes are also needed in the states for to help with this program, so if you would be interested in fostering, contact Operation Baghdad Pups to find out more information.

While it is great they are helping those dogs, we have hundreds in shelters here that need help too.
