Mission accomplished – Texas

30 June 2018 – Krueger reunited with his dad after being in our “Pet Foster Home” program over the past eight months. For those who may not know, Krueger was attacked by other dogs during his foster term in April. He almost lost a paw due to an event with the neighbors’ furbabies when he placed his paw through a chain link fence. Luckily his paw was able to be repaired thanks to the wonderful care by Sugar Land Veterinary Specialists in Texas.

Welcome home to Krueger’s dad! Our sincere thanks and appreciation for his service, plus our sincere thanks to Krueger’s “Guardian Angels” (Larry and Carol) who went above and beyond in caring for Krueger. This is what “Guardian Angels for Solder’s Pet” is all about and WE couldn’t do what we do without everyone’s support.

God Bless and Angel Hugs, Linda D, CEO

Help Us “Raise the Roof” and Build a National Office

Since Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet began in January 2005, our “day-to-day operations” have been handled in the CEO’s residence (55-60% of home). Now in 2017 it is time we are working toward establishing an official “national office” to handle these operations with an actual volunteer “Admin Staff” to assist the organization’s CEO.

Today though we are waiting from an estimated cost for a 14’ x 30’ Leland “Chisholm Trail Cabin” from what we know we feel we are at the point that we can officially establish an official “Capital Campaign” to make this project a reality in order to raise $35,000.

Besides being able to have an “Admin Staff” having a separate building, we can meet with other volunteers involved with fundraising in Central TX for the other MVP Sanctuary projects; meet with members of the military and veteran communities and other interested parties. In addition we can plan for activities/events at the MVP Sanctuary.

Full details can be found on our website, including how you can get involved.
