Mission Accomplished: Rico

Rico and His Family

Rico and His Family

 

Rico stayed with his Foster Home from March 2012 to April  2013.  This is the third time his foster family has been a foster home for Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet.   Thank you to his foster family for taking such wonderful care of our soldier’s pets!

His owner was married shortly before deployment and his new step kids didn’t get to spend anytime with Rico pre-deployment.  Apparently when they came to get Rico, the step kids didn’t realize that they were going to take Rico home with them. Don’t know who was happier – Rico or the kids!

Thank you to Rico’s Dad for his service and the foster family for opening their heart and home!

Appreciation Gift from MSM

This week the organization received a fantastic surprise in the mail!   An MSM from Virginia sent us a framed flag flown over Afghanistan on 11 September 2011.  We fostered this MSM’s pup while he was deployed. We are touched and honored to received this gift and look forward to hanging it in the future MVP Sanctuary for all to see.
