Nationwide – Right now, several pets belonging to deployed U.S. military members urgently need temporary homes through the Dogs on Deployment Hero Pet Boarding Network.
When service members are called away for deployment, training, or other assignments, many don’t have family nearby who can care for their pets. Without help, some military families are forced to consider surrendering their animals to shelters.
That’s where volunteer DoD Boarders step in.
Through the nonprofit Dogs on Deployment, volunteers temporarily foster pets while their owners are away serving the country. The goal is simple but powerful: keep military pets safe and loved until they can be reunited with their families.
Right now, the organization says multiple pets are urgently in need of boarders.

If you’re able to help:
• You can sign up to become a volunteer boarder through the Hero Pet Boarding Network.
• If you can’t foster, sharing this opportunity can help these pets find safe homes.
No service member should have to choose between serving their country and keeping their pet.
