Here is something you can do for the troops. It may seem small but it is appreciated.

NetPets.Org is now using All of its resources in the cooperative formation and ongoing operation of a Nation Wide network of INDIVIDUAL FOSTER HOMES who will be able to care for the Dogs, Cats, Birds and all other types of pets of those in the military and other personnel who will be mobilized. Your support will assure that these beloved pets will be nurtured, housed and cared for, until they can be reunited with their owners.
The MilitaryPetsFOSTER Project is a Perpetual Program and it is endorsed by the Department of Defense and all branches of service.

msnbc did an article about a local animal shelter in georgia that is swamped with pets abandoned by soldiers and their families when they are deployed overseas.. they've had to euthanize most of them, because they couldn't find homes.. this site, NetPets, will take ur application to foster some of these pets until their owners come home..

you can 'sign' up to foster anything.. cats, dogs, horses, snakes.. wutever.. and when they find something available in ur area.. they'll email you..

doesn't hurt u to apply, and u mite gain a new friend
