My name is SGT Brad S and I am currently stationed in Afghanistan. While out on a patrol our MPâ??s came upon a group of children and young adults crowded around a small puppy that they were making sport of by throwing rocks and trash at her. A couple of our MPâ??s took pity on the poor little creature and offered a trade, three cans of Rip-it and a Hershey bar procured our new little pooch. The MPâ??s were able to sneak her back onto our little FOB where we promptly took to nursing her back to health. Rip-it became an instant family member to all of us, and we took turns hiding and feeding her to the best of our abilities. Over the past month and a half she has gone from a tail between her legs scared little puppy, to a happy, healthy, playful, crazy, lovable ball of fuzz. The MPâ??s have since left, and lucky for us were unable to take her with them. We are now far too attached to little Rip-it to leave her behind to the fates of Afghanistan. This is the reason for my letter to you. We need your help getting Rip-it home to Iowa with SFC W and his family of wayward dogs. SFC W and his wife have taken in numerous rescues but have suffered a recent loss to their family of four (and three) legged friends due to father time. Their unfortunate loss could be Rip-itâ??s gain with your help. Ripit~ You have some special soldiers caring for you and Puppy Rescue Mission is here to make this happen for you~ Pack your bags girl because your soldier is bringing you home to Iowa!!!

Help us get this beauty to the Land of the Free, Because of the BRAVE! Paw Salute!!!

SARAH & AMIRA: LEE'S PRINCESSES

The Loss of Neda led to the establishment of Neda's Fund. Sometimes the silver lining in the cloud is greater than we can ever imagine. Neda obviously wanted her daddy to have double trouble so she delivered Sarah and Amira to him in Kabul. NOTE: The Smile on this new Daddy's face.

Dreams are like stars~You may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny.

Left, is Sarah..... Right, is Amira..... Sarah, is of Hebrew origin and means "princess"...... Amira, is of Arabic origin and means "princess". As a girl's name is pronounced ah-MEER-ah. Its my Yin and Yang twist,,,Good Karma,,,Good Stuff! So let me introduce: Sarah Blackwater Deckelman and Amira Bella Deckelman.

TALI THE TIGER CAT

From the Marine:      Tali is several months old, has the orange and white"Garfield" look, and follows me all over the base whenever she isn't doing her usual exploring. She's become very reliant on people and I'm afraid that the next unit that will come in won't care for her as much as we do since she's grown on us. If they discard her, I'm sure she'll die since she's become accustom to people providing for her (I spoil her).
      Please let me know if you can help. If you can't, I understand and will look for help elsewhere. If you know anyone that can, that would be great also. All of the Marines here can't wait to leave Afghanistan, and none of us want to leave our buddy Tali behind...especially after all the great work she's done getting rid of our mice problem!

Semper Fi! The Puppy Rescue Mission will be helping you get Tali out of Afghanistan!

CURRENT RESCUES

TINY & RENEGADE

BOSTON

Tiny & Renegade & Don't Forget Lily~

Brief history:  Tiny and Renegade came to our platoon back in

October 2010 when a young local national boy asked if we would like
them.  We were out on patrol and the young boy said he could not feed
them.  I have attached a picture of them back then.  Tiny is on the left
and Renegade is on the right.  We took them back to our base and it was
not long before they became family to us.  A few months later, we had to
move to build a new outpost and there was no question on whether they
would come or not.  We packed them up in the trucks and moved out.  Tiny
and Renegade have grown a lot since October and they are accustomed to
going on patrol with the guys whenever they go out the gate.  Those two
"boys" will follow our patrols anywhere and stay right with the guys.
My platoon (29 infantymen), LOVE our dogs and any one of them would take
them home.  My Platoon Leader and I understand the costs involved and
would be willing to pay whatever the cost is.  Of course we need help

getting Tiny and Renegade home.  I pray you can help. Thank you for your

time.

LILY~

THANK YOU from Trigger

PopTart and Sarah!!!!

They are in VEGAS BABY!!!!

ROSCO

The Story of Rosco:

The story about how we found him is a simple one. We were conducting a shura one day at a local governmental center south of our FOB. Most dogs in Afghanistan are not friendly and do not simply approach soldiers. As I exited the building, one of the prettiest dogs I have seen in this country came up to me and started licking my hand. The dog was a female, and it was obvious she was nursing. She walked into an abandoned house, and we looked through the window at where she was going. There we saw 3 small, malnourished puppies; one of them was Rosco. When we entered the house, two of the puppies recoiled from us, but Rosco approached as happy as he could be. Our platoon had been wanting to adopt a dog, so this one seemed right. Rosco was so small when I picked him up that for the rest of the mission, he sat on top of my dismount radio on my chest rig. Since that day he has been a loved member of our platooon.

Rosco's final destination in the States will be Ft. Campbell, KY, about 45 minutes north of Nashville, TN. Our unit is scheduled to return to the States in late July or early August. If Rosco gets home before us, one of the wives is going to take care of him until we return. We just want Rosco safe in the States. Again, thank you so much for any help. We cannot thank you enough.

Time to help this BAND OF BROTHERS get Rosco to the USA! Paw Salute Soldiers for your big heart and more importantly for your service to the USA!

Lily: Love at First Sight

From the Soldiers Wife:

I think that Charlie fell in love with Lily the moment he found her. He loves all animals, but I think he has a special place in his heart for dogs. He told me that having her with him has made his time in Afghanistan easier to bear. I know that if he could not bring her home, he would be heart-broken. If there is anything that I can do to help with the process, please let me know, as I would be happy to help. Thank you again.

Lily was found at the back gate to our camp. She was severely emaciated and barely moving. We estimated her to be about 4 months old. We brought her to our compound and she barely moved for a week. She finally started eating and bounced back. We had a reservist who is a veterinarian in the civilian world give her shots and spay her. She is very outgoing and friendly. She learns quickly and has easily adapted to life with our unit.

When we read stories like this all we can say is... we are proud of our men and women fighting for our Freedom. They are compassionate and caring people and Paw Salute for looking after Lily. Yes We Can and Will Help you get Lily to the Land of the Free Because of the Brave!!!

SWEET IZZY

IZZY~What a sweet Momma!

This is Izzy, everyone's buddy. When my team first arrived here on base, and the team that had raised Izzy from a pup left, she spent most of her days running around with her buddy Welches and mostly ignored us. But then about a month after we arrived, Welches had to be put down and Izzy became depressed and lonely. After we lost Welches, Izzy spent most of her time lying in the middle of the sidewalk, making people step around, or over her, or walking around like she was lost. After a few weeks though, a small pup, Jojo, snuck under the gate and became the newest addition to the team. It was exactly what Izzy needed. Izzybegan to look after and really take care of Jojo, and it brought her back to the dog she was before. Not long after, she completely warmed up to our team, and is loved by us all. About two months ago, I started calling her to follow me back to my room after lunch and dinner for a treat, and it quickly became that whenever she saw me, regardless of the time, she figured it was snack time and would follow me around. Some nights she'll sleep on the floor of my room, and when it's time to go out, she'll scratch at the door, or come over to my bedside and let me
know she needs to go.

Izzy really is a great dog. We gave her a bath for the first time this spring the other day, and while miserable, never whined, barked, or tried to wiggle out of us holding onto her. She just stood there and
waited for the fiasco to be over with.

I love Izzy, and really want her to find a great home in the states. She is very gentle (and smart) and would be a great addition to someone at home.

Izzy now has the perfect soldier from the platoon that is adopting her: Now you will be going to The Land of the Free, Because of the Brave Sweet Girl!

JoJo~Boston Bound

Soldiers Story:

Jojo is one of the most amazing dogs i have ever encountered. She's fun, playful, and for the most part obedient. She does need some work on her manners, but she's still a pup about 5 months old. Jojo wondered onto our Fob in November of 2010. When she came on she was only a couple weeks to a month old. I scooped her up, and when i looked at her the name Jojo just popped out, and the name stuck. She's very good with other dogs because she grew up with the other FOB dog Izzie who's also trying to find a home in the States. Originally i wasn't going to take Jojo home I figured she had a great life on the Fob with a lot of love. I ended up being detached from that FOB and going to a new one while Jojo stayed behind. It was one day however that i started thinking that future groups command not like the dogs around, and kick them off. I couldn't let that happen to Jojo. A few days ago we went back to that FOB to pick up some of our guys, and people told about one of our Captains who felt as i did, and wanted to get Jojo home. He needed someone to take her in, and I could not leave this country without that girl coming home with me. I'm from Boston, MA and live in an area full of dog parks, and plenty of room for Jojo to run around and live a life in the states she deserves. Some of these pictures are from her first few months, some are borrowed considering im not at that FOB all the time, and some are from me. I love this dog and want nothing more to get her home.


JoJo~ You have some special soldiers caring for you and Puppy Rescue Mission is here to make this happen for you~ Pack your bags girl because your soldier is bringing you home to Boston!!!
