POPTART! She is a Sweet Companion to this Soldier!





THE POPTART STORY

A message from Poptart:

My name is Poptart and I am currently in Afghanistan. I have grown up here on my own for the past three years. About 6 months ago, some US Soldiers found me and have been taking care of me ever since. I spend a lot of time with them and we share a special bond together. Before they came, I would spend my days dodging the Afghans who constantly throw rocks at me. Now the Soldiers protect me and keep the bad guys away. Before, I would pick through piles of trash to get enough scraps to fill me up. Now the Soldiers bring me their leftovers and my belly has been full ever since. Before, I would spend cold winter nights looking for shelter. Now they have made me a dog house and filled it with blankets that keep me warm at night. I am so grateful to them for all they have done for me. They will be leaving in a few months to go back to the US and they would like me to go with them, but I need some help. If you know anyone who could help, I would forever be indebted. They have promised me a warm home and a happy life, if I can only find a way to get there.



Message from the Soldiers:

The day to day life in combat takes its toll on all Soldiers. We are no exception. The best part of every day here in Afghanistan, is knowing we can spend time with Poptart. She is more than a dog, she is a companion and a friend. She has brought joy to our lives and given us something to look forward to each and every day. She is always happy to see us and never leaves our side. It would break our hearts if we had to leave her here in Kabul. We are asking for your help to get her back to the US. Please consider giving a small donation. Your help would save her life and enrich ours.

Isa Afghan Puppy



Isa was found wandering alone in the vicinity of the Isa Khan bridge by an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team. The Isa Khan bridge is a bridge that has been heavily fortified by Taliban militia fighters by IED's in an attempt to keep coalition force aid out of the town of Isa Khan itself. The EOD team was in the area to respond to an IED in the area when she was spotted near the truck by one of the team members and recovered into the truck where she spent the next 2 days eating Meals Ready to Eat (MRE's) and working out of the truck with the team until their return to base. Isa was a quick study in the ways of socializing with people. At first she was food aggressive but that was quickly resolved through a strict hand feeding regimen and her only game that she liked to play was "bite the person" this was resolved through the introduction of toys and appropriate level of play. She now knows "come" and "sit" and is currently learning to walk on a leash. There are a couple of other puppies on base that she periodically socializes with to ensure that she remains friendly to other dogs. Her final destination in the United States will be with me, my wife Cinde, our daughter Maci ( age 20). We live at the base of a mountain in San Diego that has an extensive trail system and are in close proximity to 3 beaches that allow dogs to roam off leash and socialize with other dogs while playing in the ocean.

ALICE: Afghan Dog



This is to help our Canadian Friends:  Sasha's Legacy a Legacy of Love...May Fred & Alice have a safe journey to Canada!




From Fred:
Day 1
This is New Little Dude. She doesn't have a name yet but is my newest friend. She's a little sick, and we're going to get to the bottom of that. But for today, she's just lucky to be alive. A hashed-out NDS (afghani secret police) officer took a shot at her with his pistol, leading to the inevitable confrontation between he and I. Protect the ones who can't protect themselves. She is now my roommate, but needs a forever home. :)


Day 2
Introducing Alice! She was brought to me by Patches, two days before Patches flew out. She's a little sick and I wasnt convinced I had enough time to get her out. But yesterday, a stoned NDS (Afghan secret police) officer took a shot at her. My blood boiled, and after the ensuing confrontation... Alice is my new room mate until I can get her out. Help!



Day 3
Alice and I would like to thank LYNN ROSS for the amazing donation, and hope that Lynn can convince her family that Alice would be the perfect, loving, addition! :)



Day 4
Alice has a message for Sophia- who has given the contents of her piggy bank and more to help!!



Day 5-???
The Future:  Hopefully her arrival in Canada! Stay Tuned and Please help us get her outta here. She deserves a good life. We greatly appreciate any and all donations to help her to Canada. She will travel with Fred in the coming weeks so time is of the essence. THANK YOU!


Of course the motorcycle Vets helped alot...amazing that there are such good guys in the strangest places. Go Fred Go!

BEEFY Afghan Puppy

This is Beefy. She was brought to the shelter in Afghanistan by her soldier when he was headed back to the states. He can only afford $50 a month which he has been sending to the shelter for food. He has begged them not to give her to anyone and has been trying to raise funds for the transport. Beefy has been there 5 months and is growing fast. She needs to be sent to the states quickly before she gets much bigger. We have been asked by the shelter if we could help this Soldier. He did not know organizations like this existed and I think we can make a Soldier VERY HAPPY if we get this Mission done ASAP! So Rally everyone and
Lets BRING HOME BEEFY!!!
Please help us help this soldier bring home Beefy to America,
The Land of the Free Because of the BRAVE!

SPIDERMAN SAM


Because of the nature of this Soldiers work we cannot display any pictures of his puppy or the Soldier BUT when they get stateside we can!  So stay tuned and lets Get them out of Afghanistan soon!

PS:  Spiderman Sam is really a SHE !
From her soldier:
Our pup, Spiderman, or Sam, as we like to call her, has been living with my platoon and me for several weeks now since we found her in Kandahar city in the middle of December. obviously what i do won't let me tell you the details of how we found her but it was clear that in the dead of winter in the city, and at about three or fours weeks old, she wouldn't live on her own, and as she followed us we deduced that there was no mother looking after her. Much to the disbelief of the company, we helped her for those first couple weeks that she should have had a mother, and in the last week she has become much stronger and it is clear that she will survive with our help, but that is only the beginning of our problems. We are leaving to return home in less than a month and i am confident that the troops replacing us will not take care of her, as our leadership has made it clear that she is not allowed. the only options for her were being turned loose on KAF or going home and living a peaceful life in America off the streets of Afghanistan. As for as Sam being in danger, if she is left here and manages to survive on the base, she'll be like every dog in KC looking for scraps and getting rocks thrown at her. I just don't see her making it here without another stroke of luck like she's had with us.



Please help us help this soldier bring home Spiderman Sam to America,
The Land of the Free, Because of the BRAVE!

TILLY IS HOME IN THE USA!!! SAN ANTONIO TEXAS IS HER NEW HOME!

From Angel Gil:
Tilly is properly settled and tucked in to bed. In the morning she's going to have a nice bath and a trip to the vet (to start the new year off on a health kick like everyone else). She was quiet as a cucumber in her crate when I picked her up. I let her out immediately. She enjoyed all the new smells, had a snack, drank an entire bottle of water, and walked by my side on a leash like we'd known each other forever. When she'd done her business and we started to drive home, she let out a sigh on the back seat and promptly went to sleep.
We got to the house and she wouldn't come in! She was very reluctant to meet her new sister Shafina. They wagged tails a bit, but Tilly seemed generally unimpressed. Eventually she came in and sniffed everything. We are keeping them in separate rooms overnight just to make sure Tilly gets rest. They'll have time to get to know each other.
She's a lovely dog with a very sweet temperament. Very cuddly and affectionate. She likes to play, as we found out when she did some somersaults on her bed. She also likes rawhide rolls - delicious, made in the USA beef rawhide. Yum. She picked it up and carried it to the bed. Seems like someone in Afghanistan gave her a rawhide! : )
Anyway, Tilly says thank you very much for being a part of her rescue. She loves her new home and can't wait to give you all a lick someday.
Sweet little Tilly.

Puppy Rescue Mission and Sasha House say PAW SALUTE to Lt. Col Mike & Amy Williams for their big hearts and to Angela and her husband for giving a wonderful safe and forever home to Tilly!!!!

MILEY: A Soldiers Soldier!


This is Miley! Here is her Soldiers Story:
"Miley is my squad's mascot and she goes everywhere we go. We enjoy letting her run around at the different patrol bases we go to and seeing her play with all of the other dogs. It has been quite cold here and she always sleeps in my sleeping bag at my feet. My squad works long hours as the company mobile section and Miley is always there to cheer us up when we are having a rough time. I really want to help this dog out by giving her a better life back home in the states."
Well Soldier Your Wish is our Command So Everyone Rally to get Miley to the USA...

TRIGGER



From the Marines Wife: "Trigger was picked up at an Afghan market by an Afghan solider because the family was trying to get rid of her and was going to kill her if she was not adopted. My husband took her in and has been with her ever since. She goes everywhere with him. I'm not sure on the age but the picture I attached is a few months old and she has gotten larger. Since he has no Internet, he sends SD cards home so I can see pictures. She is extremely loving and has already learned a few commands! They think she is about 4-5 months. "

This Marine &his family & friends have made the sizeable contribution to the cost of Triggers rescue so our goal is $1600.

Please help this Marine get his friend Trigger to the Land of the Free Because of the Brave! Thank You and Paw Salute Marine for your service!May you travel this journey with us as we make miracles happen....
