My Nonprofit Reviews

The SPCA was awesome. While deployed to Iraq, our team members quickly became friends with a female dog that was very friendly. About a few weeks into my deployment, she had 8 healthy puppies. These puppies and mom had little chance of survival. The pups were born under an old building and there was an order on the base to put wild animals down. Myself and countless other members brought the pups to our workplace and constructed a dog house to house the entire family. We got to see the pups every time we came to work. They were an inspiration. Mama (Jasmine) was good to the pups and stayed with them while they nursed. When old enough she would travel a quarter of a mile to bring back a single sausage for the pups to share. Obviously we would bring the entire family food fro the chow hall because mom could not feed everybody. We reached out to the SPCA to help get this family out. It is my belief that all would perish or be put down without their intervention. This organization was amazing. They worked with all agencies to include our installation to provide a way out. We were able to get the mom and all 8 pups out on a contracted flight to a larger facility. The SPCA took it from there. They vaccinated and cared for the mom and puppies for the next few months. They asked nothing in return. Vaccinations had to run their course with a minimum waiting time. Once cleared, the SPCA flew all 8 pups and their mom to the United States. All dogs were shipped to different states and cared for along the way. The SPCA asked for nothing. I have chatted with several folks who received the puppies. All are doing well and thriving to include my own. I cannot say enough about the organization. I am sure that this whole family would have perished by starvation on shot without their help. It truly is a shining moment out of all the hate going on in the world.
