My Nonprofit Reviews

I could not be more grateful for this organization. Scrappy was my dog while deployed to the North Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. I started taking care of him to assist the Vet until he was ready to be a mascot, but I very soon became attached and couldn't bear the thought of saying my final goodbye. He helped me get through any hard times and never failed to make me smile. Scrappy missed his socialization period has a puppy so he was extremely timid. Working with him and seeing him make progress in things like being able to walk on a leash near people to playing with toys was so rewarding and kept me going. As he became more social he brought joy to so many people. When I brought Scrappy to the flight line for his first flight out of North Camp, he had many soldiers come to say goodbye to him.

The other soldier that was adopting Whisky at the time found SPCA International and all it took was an email to get things going. Lori worked with emailing someone in the states, the soldiers here, and the vet which is not an easy thing, but everyone was on the same page and it wasn't long before Donald came out to Egypt to bring three dogs home to the states. Besides ordering a kennel (which SPCA International even provided a kennel for one of the dogs that was a last minute add) we were able to sit back and spend our last days not worrying about anything. The vet, Donald, and Lori took care of all the health certificates, paperwork, and plane tickets. We were planning on adopting Scrappy ourselves and the paperwork behind it all was just as daunting as the price tag to bringing the dogs home so that was such an incredible relief.

I will continue to help this organization out in any way I can. I want as many other people to be able to experience what I experienced. Working for this organization has got to be the most rewarding jobs on the planet to constantly make people feel the way I do right now. Words cannot describe my appreciation. I know the other two soldiers that were helped here feel the exact same way.
