MISS MILEY


Miss Miley's Story:

Miley the puppy (at the time, she is a much larger & a teenager now) was rescued during one of their patrols from some Afghani kids had her in a plastic bag. Their entire platoon has been caring for Miley... she has become their war buddy and companion. Unfortunately they will be returning to the states soon (50 days). Kevin, one of the soldiers, has become very attached to Miley and would like to send her home to his parents so that she may live her life in safety.

Amira: Soldiers' Princess

 Amira's Story:
From her soldier:
Amira was a puppy that was originally living at an OP above our FOB. She followed people down and was in danger of being terminated. We temporarily held her in a holding pen on our FOB that housed a ram and two donkeys. Unfortunately, her herding tendencies forced her to "herd" all of these animals. She would nip at their ankles. Security personnel took her about 10 KM away from the base and released her. Well, Amira is not one to give up easily. She found her way across a river, onto the FOB and was at our doorstep about a day and a half later. She has since become our team dog and is sequestered in our area. She has provided pet therapy to our team and is our unofficial mascot. If she were to be released into the wild, I'm sure she would again return to the base and be terminated.  I am hoping to be able to bring her home to the states with me...can you help?

Best,
Amira's Soldier
Amira~The Puppy Rescue Mission Does Not Give Up Either So pack your bags as You will be coming to America Princess!You are going to get to come to the Land of the Free Because of the Brave! Paw Salute Sweetie & Thank you Soldier for your service and for loving Amira!

Trever The Trooper!




I just think he deserves a better home. Here's how he subtley became part of Team Shah Joy:(I was actually sitting out this mission.) A little over a month ago, during a foot patrol, one of our guys spotted this puppy trying to chew a water bottle open and then trying to eat rocks...I'm guessing he was less than a month old. Poor thing. So he helped the puppy out, got him something to drink, fed and played with him a little. When it was time to walk back to base, this lonely puppy followed the guys back to the gate. There was no way any one them could turn this lost puppy away so our Team Lead allowed them to take him "home", to our compound. After a bath, flea repellent, and a collar made of 550 cord, he was part of the team! It wasn't too long before he became MY dog. He just started following me everywhere, pushing the door into my room, and making his bed under mine. So I'm getting some OJT in raising a pup.

We've had Trever for a little over a month now and it's no surprise how quickly he's become a member of our tight knit family. I've received several compliments from dog owners on the base that he has one of the best personalities they've ever seen in a young puppy; extremely friendly, outgoing, and trusting. He's well taken care of by everyone on the team and we've received several puppy care packages including dog food, puppy vitamins, chew toys, flea repellent, and dog shampoo. He stole the show after I started posting pictures of him on my FB.
I've heard of a couple guys who've taken dogs home from Afghanistan and they spent around $3,000. When I told the guys I'm considering taking him home, some said they would help pay but I could always use more help as well as more information on how to go about this in the first place.
Something really good is about to happen for! You are going to get to come to the Land of the Free Because of the Brave!

Thank you Soldiers for rescueing Trever!

SCOUT: THE TROOPS LOVE HER!



From the Soldier:

Hello,
I am hoping I can receive some assistance in rescuing my platoon's dog, Scout. My platoon rescued Scout from several Afghan men who were beating her in the city the week before Christmas. Since then, we have raised Scout at our camp, but we have recently been told we must get rid of Scout immediately. I'm sure you hear this frequently, but this would be incredible to get Scout back to the States and I really appreciate any help. Scout has already been going on patrols with my platoon and been through a lot with us.


Lets get this cutie out of the country asap. This is a rush as his time is ticking....Something really good is about to happen! You are going to get to come to the Land of the Free Because of the Brave!

Thank you Soldiers for rescueing Scout!

SNEEZY: He needs to get to the USA ASAP!

Sneezy has met his goal.  We had 2 checks that finished him so he is hopefully headed West to the USA very soon!





From a special person who cares for these animals....

I woke up at 3 am and decided i HAVE to send sneezy to the states. he is a very beloved dog of an american soldier who has been at the shelter for a month. he is sweet and loving but he has a terrible infection on his nose that makes him look very deformed and makes it hard for him to breathe. we are treating him the best we can but we cannot cure him. i want to send him to my vet in the states. once you see him it will break your heart. this one is hard to "market" because of his deformity, but he is the sweetest dog i have ever met and i do not think he will make it through the winter in Afghanistan. the soldier can pay $1000 and i told him i would try to raise the rest...
This soldier is desperate to save his dog, Sneezy has been his buddy in arms and we NEED to get Sneezy to the states to take care of his nose infection. Please, please help Sneezy get home. We need to raise $2000.00 as QUICKLY as possible...this baby HAS to come home......thank you to all of you.

Sadie~She keeps her Soldiers Happy & Warm

"It's so funny how something as simple as a puppy can make even the hardest, toughened soldier melt upon a few kisses to the face."





 



The story on Sadie is: We were burning our garbage one day and saw some puppies and went to check them out. One pup looked cute so I caught her but she yelped and screamed. Her yelping caused mom, Shelia, to come over. I put the pup down and pet mom so she would see i didn't want to hurt the pup. The pup then came up and stomped her paw on the top of my foot so I picked her back up. The second time she did not yelp or whine or anything she was content to just be held and pet by us. We set the pup down and I started to walk back to our compound and she followed us. We left her with her mom for the night so I could clear it with my bunk mates but they said bring her in. The next day we went back out and brought her "home" with us. We had her in our tent for a couple of weeks but our chain of command found out and we had to put her back. I go see Sadie at least once a day more if i can. She is a great puppy and is 15 weeks old at the oldest. I would like to take her home because we are surrounded by an active mine field and have seen local nationals beat the dog just because they can. She is to cute and good to be stuck with that kind of life, I would like to give her a home that's warm has plenty of food and she never has to worry about getting beaten or blown up.

Because of the dilemmas of transporting animals out of Afghanistan the costs have increased. The Puppy Rescue Mission hopes that this is only a temporary situation and the costs will drop soon. For now we have to fund raise more as The Puppy Rescue Mission is a nonprofit corporation with all funds going to the animals rescue.

Isa Afghan Puppy to be a USA citizen!!!

Survivor and Patience

These two are in need of a Special Family to love them.  If you are that family please contact PRMadopt@gmail.com ! 
Patience is a treasure. She is loving, malleable, accomodating, grateful, and lots of fun. Always wagging her tail and wanting to be with people. She came to us as a young dog from the streets of kabul with a litter of pups about two years ago. The pups were all adopted but she stayed with us. She has been living in a large yard with about 10 other dogs and gets along well with all of them. She has not been around cats but her personality is very positive and friendly and I would be very surprised if she did not get along with cats. Usually it is the cats who have trouble adjusting to new dogs.

More Pictures of Isa Afghan Puppy!


She matches the soldiers!  And look at that cute nose!

Please Support Our Troops and get their
Battle Buddies to the USA!

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.
