Thousands of Americans proudly serve in the military, and many of these individuals are also proud pet owners. But what happens to the pet when an officer is called to active duty or asked to transfer across the country or overseas? With proper preparation, pets can be fit into the lives of militay personnel. Asking family and friends if they are willing to take your pet temporarily if necessary is a great first step. Foster care is another option available at many animal shelters. To make the transition easy for your pet and its temporary owners, keep all veterinary records on hand. Inform temporary owners about your pet's personality- likes and dislikes, food, sleeping preferences, etc. |
