In the heart of every service member is a commitment to protect and serve, a duty that encompasses immense sacrifice and unwavering dedication. Similarly, in the heart of every service dog or pet companion is a commitment of a different kind: to provide emotional support, companionship, and joy. These noble animals stand as silent heroes behind our heroes, playing a crucial role in the well-being and morale of our military personnel. Recognizing the importance of these companions, Dogs on Deployment and The Lazy Dog Cookie Co., Inc. have championed the cause to support military pets, ensuring they receive the care and love they deserve while their owners fulfill their service commitments.

The Unseen Challenges of Military Commitments on Pets 

Military life is replete with challenges, not just for the service members but also for their pets. Deployments, permanent change of station (PCS) moves, and rigorous training schedules can disrupt the lives of these dedicated men, women, and their furry family members, leading to emotional stress and uncertainty.

This is where the significance of supporting our military and their beloved pets becomes ever so clear. It's about sustaining the bonds that bring comfort in times of separation and ensuring that the welfare of these cherished animals remains a priority.

Dogs on Deployment: A Beacon of Hope

Dogs on Deployment is a national non-profit organization that has stepped in as a beacon of hope for military pet owners. Founded by Alisa and Shawn Johnson, military members themselves, Dogs on Deployment understands the unique challenges faced by servicemen, servicewomen, and their pets. By providing an online network where military members can find volunteers willing to board their pets, Dogs on Deployment promotes responsible, life-long pet ownership and offers financial assistance during times of emergency. Their mission is not just changing lives; it’s about uplifting spirits and fostering a community that recognizes every member of the military family, including the four-legged ones.
