My Nonprofit Reviews

Puppy rescue mission is a wonderful organization, that through donations and volunteers brings home dogs and cats from any country where our military is serving. Majority of them have come from Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait. It is so important to the men and women serving in our military to be able to bring their battle buddies back home with them. On some occasions, there may be a dog or a cat that the soldiers find and is looking for a home here in the United States. And that's where the story of Jack, of Kuwait comes in. Jack was caught in a very bad situation, in a war zone and was shot in the rear leg and beaten by the locals there. A group of soldiers saved him off of the streets, and took him to a animal hospital in Kuwait. There he stayed for five long months recovering from the loss of his leg, and other wounds. The people at the animal hospital had all but given up on Jack ever overcoming his severe PTSD. However, puppy rescue mission wanted to give him a chance at a better life. He was flown here to the United States, and I took him in as a foster. That Forrester of coarse, turned into adopting him. His PTSD was so severe, I could only walk him late at night, when they were a few cars and people out and about. He spent his first four months living in the back of his crate and only coming out to go outside. Gradually though, that hardshell started to soften. He became more accepting of my other three dogs, and started to come out and sit in the room on a dog bed. Push on ahead to four years later, to this present day. He is a wonderful dog, a family dog. He loves to sit in his yard, he loves his bed in my room, and he loves his walks and anytime of day. He has started coming out to meet people when they come to the house to visit. Still has never gotten back in the car again since he arrived, but his life has done a comple turn around. He is living the life of a happy and content dog. What makes Jack so special, is his resilience and his ability to forgive people. Even more so, he has taught myself and many others Through his Facebook page, that you can conquer your fears, you can forgive people when you have been treated so cruelly and seen them at their worst. His story is one of compassion, patience, and to always have hope to overcome some difficult situations. And, none of that would have been possible without Puppy Rescue Mission taking a leap of faith in bringing him here. And add to that, the countless amount of dogs and cats that have been reunited with their soldiers and living a wonderful life here in the United States, A life every dog and cat deserves.
