Meet Pookie~
"She ran up to my battle as she was exciting outside of the PX, she seen a small brown dog that looked
super scared. She brought her near the room and we had given her some food, two other big dogs
started approaching and she was shaking and scared out her mind. I picked her up and took her inside
the room. I just knew she needed to be saved and loved. :( as much as the other dogs need as well.. "
Meet Benji~
"Benji has been around the base for a while but has begun to take a liking to me and my group in the past few weeks. He is always excited and happy to see us every afternoon. We play with him and give snacks all
the time. I want to give him a good home."
Meet Princess aka Romie~
"I met sweet Romie (aka Princess) a couple months ago on the base I am located at and she was the
sweetest little thing ever. She is a black cat with white on her chest and paws and she is very
affectionate. Every time she saw me or would hear me call her she would run up to me with her tail in the
air. When I noticed her belly a few weeks ago I was so excited cause I knew she was going to have
babies!! Sadly I missed her birth but I can’t wait to see her and one of her babies when they come home
with me ( hopefully)."

Meet the kitties~
Figaro will be going with his momma and Cleo has a home all ready for her arrival in Boston. Now to find a home for Gatto (male). If you would like to adopt him email PRMadopt@gmail.com
Meet Bogey~
"Driving on the streets of Ghana. Saw a cute puppy in a cage on the side of the road in horrible living
conditions. Want to get him home!."

Meet Brookie~
"These bases have been getting bombed by drones and missiles and I want to give these dogs a
safe life. They are also hungry and thirsty often and I would like to make their lives better.
We were relocated here after all our stuff got destroyed at another location. I don’t want these pets in the crossfire like they were in Kuwait."

Meet Charlie~ We are on pins & needles waiting for his opportunity to fly to the USA.
"Kitten was first found in Syria but then brought to safety in another country where he has been keeping the medical team company. He is super friendly and always wants to cuddle and play with everyone."

Meet Cooper~
"I found cooper on the outskirts of our FOB. Over time I gained his trust and he started to come out of his
shell. He's incredibly friendly and full of energy. I fell in love with him and I want to take him back home."

Meet Brutus~
"I want Creamer because of the connection I feel with her. Out on the airfield, she was so gentle, and
when she rolled over and let me rub her belly, it brought tears to my eyes. That moment of trust meant alot, especially considering the environment she’s been living in. I also want to be able to care for her openly—to feed her, keep her safe, and give her consistency in a home where that kind of care isn’t frowned upon. She deserves a safe, stable place where she’s loved
and looked after every day, and I would be committed to giving her that. I’m not just looking for a dog—I
genuinely want to give her a better life and the security she deserves.
In a place that feels empty and harsh, she was a small moment of warmth. In trying to save her, I found
that she’s been saving me too."

Meet Daisy~
"Daisy was roaming around camp and the MPs took her in to the police station for a week. For
the week, she was shy, quiet, and slept all day. On her last day, before she was picked up by animal
control, she was scared and didn't want to leave. She was loved with the MPs and joked around about
being the "mascot" for them. I decided to give her a good home since she seemed to be more of an
abandoned dog than a street dog and she deserved more love!"

Meet Dezzy~
"We found these pups by a dumpster in the desert. We stayed with them all day, brought back food and
water until they were comfortable with us. The pups finally warmed up and played and loved on us. I
want to help these pups find homes and one of them to come with me!!!!!! I named mine Dezzy, Dez,
Dezmond (bc I found him in the desert). I have another dog at home who would love to have a brother."

Meet Habibi~
"Found 4 puppies under a dumpster living in actual trash on the side of the road with semis flying by at
80+mph 3 feet away. They were shy at first and scared to interact with us, when we gained their trust
they came over and played with us like any other puppy in the world. It was at this moment I realized I
needed to bring this one home and give it a better life than it could ever have here in the desert if it even
lives the next day. Habibi is an Arabic word for friend and has roots from where he’s from."
Meet Lottie & Lilah~
"We found these 4 lil babies living under a dumpster in the Middle East. I have always been a dog person, and I have one at home. All I saw with these little guys was my dog back home in the same position. These little babies were the sweetest little ones. I spoke with my wife and we did some thinking and planning and decided that we were able to care for and take in another dog. We love little Lilah. We are already coming up with more personalized names and getting her little spot ready for her. She will live in the
house with us and sleep right in our bed with us and our other 2 pets. My wife will finish veterinary school 1 year after I return, so Lilah will be in great hands."
"My wife and I have been wanting to add a second dog to our family for quite some time. When we learned about this special pup and it litter mats born in the harsh desert and surviving alone under a dumpster we saw it as a rare and meaningful opportunity. Sometimes life sends us unexpected chances to make a real difference, and we believe this is one of them. We could have continued with "business as usual," but instead we chose to open our hearts and home. We're excited to give this resilient dog the love, security, and forever family they truly deserve —alongside our current pup, lots of cozy snuggles, playtime, and a lifetime of care."

Meet Sunshine~
"Sunshine is a stray dog I met while deployed, delivering meals to personnel on the flightline. In the
middle of a high-stress environment, she began following my vehicle—then one day, she was waiting for me before sunrise. That became our routine. Every morning, she’d be there, and we’d sit together in the quiet before the day started. Then she’d follow me through my deliveries, calm, gentle, and incredibly loyal. She never begs, never causes problems—she just stays close to the people she trusts. Sunshine has formed a strong bond with me, but she’s still living on the flightline, exposed to constant danger, extreme conditions, and uncertainty. She deserves safety and a real home."

Meet Empire~
While staying at a Camp in Eastern Europe , I was returning from a patrol when we pulled up to the gate of the camp and found three puppies begging for food from the gate guards. My heart immediately melted for them because it was cold outside and I had lost one dog due to government bureaucracy. I was lonely and needed something worth while to show for my time oversea, so we
started housing the dogs on camp despite the rules not too. Sadly, two of the puppies passed away,
likely from parvovirus that was especially dangerous to puppies, but one of them grew stronger and
recovered his appetite and playfulness. After my friends agreed that I would adopt him, I decided to
continue the lineage of Star Wars themed names and I chose Empire, because once he is strong enough
and trained, he can defend himself and "strike back."

Meet Busch~
"During my deployment I was relocated due to increasing danger in the region. When I got to my new
location Busch lived outside my office. At first I would just give him snacks here and there but slowly we grew closer and he became a sense of comfort and normalcy in this hectic period of my life. I want to adopt him as a reminder of this time in my life and as someone that was with me in a very stressful time in my life.!"

Meet Maverick~
"The past couple months, while deployed,, have been busy to say the least. I was at work one day, about 7 months into deployment, when three little puppies showed up near our workspace. One puppy, who I have since named Maverick, had a hurt paw. I offered him some snacks and he timidly approached, avoiding putting any weight on his bad paw. He immediately became my new best friend. Over the next few days, they continued to come by, and I kept offering Maverick some snacks (the other puppies have been spoiled as well). After about a week, Maverick got more comfortable, stopped limping, and one day, he rolled over and let me pet his belly. Up to that point, the puppies were too scared to let anyone pet them. After 7 months of a busy, unpredictable deployment, coming to work everyday was not the easiest task. The days were long and filled with a lot of heaviness. However, since meeting Maverick, I’ve looked forward to seeing him by my office everyday and the moments spent giving him some pets and love. He has brought some much needed joy into my life during this deployment. As soon as I saw him that first day with a hurt paw, I immediately texted my family and told them I needed to bring him home with me. I would love nothing more than to be able to bring little Maverick home and give him a life away from the loud and chaotic environment of living on a military base in the middle of major combat operations."

Meet Dude~
"These 4 pups were either dropped off or given birth to at our gate to our camp. They wandered into camp
eventually, and over the course of a week myself and another country working here started showing
them affection, feeding them and building them a little box to sleep in to stay out of the cold. The little
boy first walked up to me and let me pick him up, where he almost instantly fell asleep in my arms. I
didn’t let him go for about 2 hours until I had to let him back outside to be with his brothers, my heart set
on him by then. By that point the guys from the other country got a milk crate and I bought 2 towels from
the PX and we made them a little bed so they didn’t sleep on the ground. Eventually a veterinarian from a
town nearby came and neutered the 3 boys and gave a hysterectomy to the little female, as well as
dewormed them. They had been in a crate since then until they get taken to a nearby shelter to be held
until they can go home."

Meet Francine~
"Francine and her siblings were abandoned at the gate to our FOB. Our medics assisted the local vet to
spay/neuter them and give them their first shots, but theres no shelters locally and strays are regularly
abused or killed. We can't keep them on the camp, and we can't release them to a life of abuse and
starvation without their parents or a home. We collectively decided the only option was to find a way to bring them back home with us."

Meet Kingston~
"Kingston, along with his siblings were found by myself and others on a military installation starving and
close to death in the winter. There is no infrastructure nor available adopters to help him and his litter in
country. Kingston is being adopted by a family on a farm in Maine. Lucky boy!!!!"

Meet Kilo~
"His name is Kilo. I’m choosing to bring him home, because he’s just a puppy and he needs someone to
take care of him."

Meet Honey Habibi~
"I mobilized to the Middle East in late October of last year. Shortly after my arrival, a stray cat
began following me while I was walking outside my office. She primarily stayed near the office area,
which was located next to a warehouse where she also spent much of her time.
Over time, I began feeding her and occasionally letting her into my office. She frequently got into fights
with other cats in the area, so I gradually allowed her to come inside more often to keep her safe. Eventually, she began greeting me each day—running up to me when I arrived at work, rubbing against
my legs, and staying close by from the moment I got there. As our bond grew, it became increasingly difficult to leave her behind at the end of each day. Seeing her in my rearview mirror as I drove away was especially hard. Despite knowing I was not authorized to do so, I ultimately brought her back to my residence off base. She has remained with me since then, and we have developed a strong bond.
I cannot imagine leaving her behind, especially given the support and comfort she has provided me
throughout this deployment. During the MCO, my office was bombed and is no longer standing, as is the
warehouse where I first met her."

Meet Mavka~
"While on a deployment with the Armed Forces of Ukraine in eastern Ukraine, I decided to take a village
dog into the team house to keep her warm and fed during the cold winter. It was a good decision as a
month later she ended up having a litter of 8 puppies, all healthy, safe and warm! Each puppy was taken
in by one of the guys. I took Mavka and it has been the best thing for me as I have always wanted my
own dog since my family as always had family pets. I had to take her away from her mom at 6 weeks old
and because of this we have formed a very strong bond. Although there are people here that would care
for her as I do, I could never leave her behind."

Meet Miss Kitty~
"Hello, this is Miss Kitty! She is the sweetest and cuddliest girl ever! We fell in love with this cat as soon as she wandered into our lives. She’s in super good shape and too pretty to be stuck here after we leave. We want to ensure that she goes to a good and stable home before we leave. She is headed to Arkansas to one of the soldiers family."
Meet Phil~
"Started working the main gate and people were mentioning the cats around being friendly mostly. But
like a food-based friendliness. Since meeting Phil I feel as though he’s really grown to trust me and relay
on me more than just as a food source. I clean the crust around his eyes, cleaned him up when he came
back with from a fight with another animal, and brush him regularly. The boy sleeps in my shack every
shift and wonders off during the day. I want him to have a better life at my home in CT and I would love
the opportunity to continuing getting to bond more with him when I get back home."

Meet Perona~
"Perona, wandered around my place of work at a really stressful time with issues back home. A perfect time for me to meet a new friend that kept my mind off things, that would lay with me when i had downtime, it almost felt like fate brought this sweet cat to me. I first met her while walking into work in a not so great mood, and out of no where this beautiful grey cat came sprinting to my side, followed me to my relaxation area, ever since then she waits in that area everyday."
Perona got stuck in the bombing a month ago and she did have have an injured leg that she is recovering from.

Meet Zeus~
"My team and I have been working constantly since we got in country, we are engineers so we've been
doing dirt moving jobs, construction jobs, electrical jobs and I also do metal working jobs. Its been fairly
taxing on all of us and with the craziness kicking off it was a bit rough on the mind. Unfortunately we
weren't aloud to interact with any and all animals on or around our base which sucks especially for BIG
animal lovers like me. I'll pet anything that will let me. I was supervising and electrical job we were doing
in a hanger when one of the AF guys mentioned there was a litter of puppies in the hanger next to us. I of
course did not go over to see them (lie). I said my hellos to the litter of 5 and the mamma and then went
on my way before I got too attached. The next day we were on the same job and the litter had moved
their family to the hanger we were working in. Obviously I restrained myself and DID NOT pet them all
and love on them(lie). Meanwhile one of the puppies kind of stuck by my side a bit more which of course
did not lead to more petting(lie). Then when I walked away for a moment I came back to him taking a nap
on my plate carrier. Absolutely melted my heart. It was absolutely mentally refreshing to have this puppy
by my side and immediately comfortable around me. I was also devastated because I didnt think there
would have been a way to get him back home. Then a battle buddy of mine told me about the puppy
rescue mission and its been an absolute God send."

Meet Sarge~
"I met Sarge about 6 months into my deployment to the Middle East. I had no idea there were puppies
around until I seen momma walking out of my door with 6 puppies! Ever since then I have made it a
priority to find Sarge and pay my puppy pet taxi for the day. He has brightened my day tremendously since
seeing him for the first time. I would love nothing more than to give him a great home in the United States!"

Meet Remi~
"Upon walking outside of the DFAC, I heard a dog crying, when I saw her, I instantly fell in love. I walked
over to her and she was looking for her momma, we found mom and all the other pups. They spent the
next couple days outside our door. We fed and gave them water each day."

Meet Luna~
"My soldiers located this puppy alone and without its mother. They brought it to a local shelter however
this shelter will only hold on to the puppy for a couple weeks and then release back into the wild without
a mother or care plan. I decided to find help to get her to the states. She now is in a safe place and the ear tag is removed. She is the pup!"

Meet Tiger~
"I still haven’t thought of a name for her but I found a litter and I started feeding them everyday during
work and when I was off. I got attached to her. Decided to name her Tiger as she has a brindled coat like a tiger. All the pups would follow me and I’d play with them but she would always be more attentive and I wanted to get them all out to a better place so I decided to start the process and I knew I wanted her ever since I saw her in the beginning."

Meet Feisal~
"I was deployed in Middle East. When fueling my vehicle there was a group of puppies that would always say hi. The reason why I wish to bring Delta now named Feisal home is to give it a proper life away from the war."

Meet Bella Marie~
"I fostered a Turkish Dog named Miley for an Airman that ended up not being able to keep Miley as he was unmarried and had to live in the barracks when he returned to DC area. So he and I decided Miley would become my dog. That was over 10 years ago. Miley recently passed away and my heart was shattered. Then PRM shared this pictue of this beautiful dog so I am adopting her. I am anxiously waiting for her arrival so we can begin our new liffe together."

Meet Bravo~
"Bravo is a rescue that I would absolutely love to take home. Just living in his environment for 6 months I
have seen some of the ways dogs are treated out here and how tough their environment is and the things
they must do for survival. I want Bravo to have a spoiled life with me and I think it would really help me
with what I have been through out here while deployed during the war. I would love to give my time, attention, and love. I have so much to give, I don’t have children and I believe I can give him the attention and training he deserves."

Meet Juliet~
Juliet is one of the litter mates that does not have a family yet. If you are interested in her please email PRMadopt@gmail.com.
She is a beautiful dog and incredible fun.

Meet Charlie~
Charlie is another one of the puppies without a family. Please make him part of your family by emailing PRMadopt@gmail.com
He is such a doll!!!
Once the animals are to safety and vetted they stay at the local Shelter until escorts can fly with them to the USA. They really enjoy their play time.
