Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet Announces Dissolution of Affiliated Minnesota Chapter 32

Gatesville, TX, April 1, 2014 – Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet© announces that as of April 1, 2014, their affiliated Minnesota Chapter 32 has filed an intent to “dissolve the chapter” documentation with the MN State Attorney General and will no longer be conducting business in the state.

Due to lack of military activity in the state and support volunteer resources in the state, the MN Chapter 32 Board of Directors voted to start the process to dissolve the chapter. The administration of the foster home program is being transitioned backed to Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet’s National Office with the Central Region Director, Heather O’Brien, handling the day-to-day coordination efforts of the program.
