Chloe's Adoption
Donation protected
Hi everyone! We are Dani and Brittany and want to thank you for taking the time to read about Chloe from our friend Greg’s point of view (Greg is a Marine and has been on deployment the past six months):
Chloe is a six-month old Iraqi puppy we have watched grow up on the compound with us. She was born to the mom of a wild dog pack leader. Somehow she kept finding her way back to our compound to hang out with us marines. She quickly became everyone’s favorite dog, so a couple months ago we decided to build her a dog house so she would know she always had a place with us. We recently received news that a working K9 was arriving with the next group and the dogs on the compound would need to find new homes. I knew we had to do something to save Chloe from being put down, so I chased her to a safe distance from the compound. But the next day she came back and jumped in our arms with her tail wagging. It was then that we realized she had become as attached to us as we had to her. She has been especially important to me on this deployment. On tough days, it has been great to come back to her.
If Chloe could tell you about herself, she would probably say, “I love playing with other dogs and like to talk a lot, but the humans don’t always understand me. I’m about as sweet as you can imagine and really like belly rubs. Greg isn’t the only one who wanted to adopt me, so I guess these guys really love me!”
We reached out to Puppy Rescue Mission yesterday thinking it was a long shot and knowing we didn’t have much time to save Chloe. To our surprise, they were able to do the impossible, and within 24 hours she is en route to the U.S.A!
If you would like to help us bring Chloe home to California from the Middle East, please know we would appreciate any amount you are able and willing to share! The costs that we are responsible for will total more than $1,000. This number comes from boarding/kenneling fees, air flights, vet exams, purchasing a crate, and airport costs.
