A non-profit animal foster care program for

individuals who are deployed in the military

or those experiencing an unexpected health

crisis. These individuals are unable to leave

their pets with friends or family so they are

forced to put them in a shelter where they

most likely will never see them again.

owners that their beloved
pets will not be lost, abused,
or euthanized

started by lawyer and venture
capitalist Melvin “Buzz” Miller in

 Military Foster
Program
If a deployed service member does not
have a family or friend to turn to when
they are away for an extended period of
time to look after their pet, their only
devastating option is to surrender their
pet to a shelter with a very low chance
of being reunited upon the owner’s
return home.

 Why would I
want to support
this cause?
Everyone is or knows of a pet owner who
would be faced with a difficult decision to
surrender their pet to a shelter in the event
that they experienced an unprecedented
health crisis and needed to spend time in the
hospital for an extended period. If a close
friend or family member was unable to care for
their pet, then they would have little to no
options for care available other than giving
their furry family member up to a shelter
where it is highly likely that they would never
see their pet again.
Help by giving back to those who serve our
country by taking in their beloved pet, on your
terms!

service members or those faced with
a difficult choice to surrender their
pet during an unexpected crisis?
