LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

We can't do it without you! Help us to care for the other forgotten soldier,

 

Two disabled veterans. One volunteered, one was forced into service. One will be taken care of the rest of their life, one will be euthanized. Its not right. Both served their country. Both deserve a life.

Land of the free, because of the brave.

 

This is an email that was just recently received by our Save-A-Vet staff. For security issues we have removed any identifying information. We will continue to post pictures along with any new information as we get it in. Save-A-Vet will be helping this veteran until his handler returns home from her deployment overseas. This veteran IS a war hero. If you are interested in helping support this cause please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you.

Hi Danny,

 
XXXXXXXXo gave me your email address and told me about your wonderful work! My husband and I created and run the website for XXXXXXXXXXXXX .
We adopted a retiring MWD in January, and found out that many things are wrong with the Adoption system. We are trying to fix that through the government and through the upper ranks in the military, HOWEVER...since things are moving rather slowly...in the meantime we are finding MWDs which are retiring and need adoption...and trying to find good adoptive home options for them. We notify the people who are interested in adopting and connect them with the kennel master, and they take it from there!
 
Why I am writing you today...we have a MWD that we are trying to find a home for who will most probably be retiring from XXXXX, XXXXX in the next several months. He has passed the Adoption Suitability test...but there is SOME question in my mind (things I know from my sources) that he may be a bit on the agressive side. Would there be a home for him in your program? I believe from what I know that he is currently agressive because he has not had  good folks taking care of him...I believe they view him as a "bother" because he is retiring...and are not loving to him...I don't believe he has a regular handler either. SO...he may not continue to be agressive at all in a good situation...I believe he has a good mind psychologically. Do you think that you would have a placement idea for him in mind? His former handler who would give anything to have him...is in Afghanistan...there is a possibility that when she returns in a year that she could take him...but I need to locate a GOOD home for him NOW so that he is not put down...
Do you have any IDEAS?
 
I will wait for your response...If you would like to discuss this...you may call me at XXXXXXX. It would be great if we could work together for the benefit of our noble MWD Heroes! Please take a look at my website X XXXXXX  If the information there would benefit your readers, feel free to link to it if you wish.
 
Thanks for your help,
Best Wishes,

Our Hero's Story

The insurgents were trying infiltrate the Abu Ghraib prison defenses to cause as much death and destruction as possible.Our Hero MWD pictured (below) saved over 200 American lives that ONE DAY at Abu Ghraib prison in 2002 when he alerted on their explosive filled truck. Our MWD Hero won one for the USA!!
 
After returning from their deployment, the MWD was separated from his handler when she was transferred back to the U.S. MWDs must learn to work with new handlers each time their former handler transfer to another base. Time after time and change after change, America's Hero MWDs give their BEST to protect and DEFEND  our great nation. When they retire...it is up to us to give the retiring MWD OUR BEST!
 
Thanks, Danny! You all are GODSENDS!!
