SMITHTOWN, N.Y., July 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- There are
parts of the world that sadly aren't a safe place for dogs. So when
American soldiers see some that have been abandoned or abused, they
can't help but to want to get involved. When they do, they form a
bond with the dog, and can't bear the thought of leaving them
behind when it's time to head back home. A soldier has reached out
to Guardians of Rescue, asking for help to get his two dogs back to
the U.S. from overseas, so they can live out their life with him in
peace.
"We understand how important it is that they are able to rescue
these dogs for good and make them a permanent part of their
family," explains Robert Misseri,
president of Guardians of Rescue, an animal rescue organization.
"We absolutely want to help them, and know how to make it happen,
but we have to have the financial backing of the public to pull it
off."
Chief Warrant Officer Anderson has been on a mission, serving
overseas for his country. Now, his country is being asked to help
him with his mission of bringing his two beloved dogs home with
him. As he is scheduled to head back to America, the idea of
leaving the dogs behind in a foreign country is weighing heavy on
his heart. He swore to both dogs that they would never be abandoned
and mistreated again, and he's counting on Guardians of Rescue to
help ensure it.
The two dogs, Moose and Sergeant Mimi
Morale, were found by Anderson. They were strays that were
starving and had been mistreated. He rescued them, gave them the
treatment they needed to nurse them back to health, named them, and
then fell in love. Sergeant Mimi
Morale got her name, because she has a special way of
boosting the morale of everyone around, and putting a smile on
everyone's face. The two canine companions have been living in his
tent and have become family.
"There's nothing like the bond you can have with a dog, or with
dogs in this case," explained Chief Warrant Officer Anderson. "I
love these dogs like family, and I can't walk away and leave family
behind over here. I will forever be grateful to be able to take
them back to the U.S. so they can continue being a part of my
family."
While Guardians of Rescue has helped numerous soldiers be able
to bring their adopted dogs back to the US from overseas, it's a
costly process. This July 4th, as we
celebrate the nation's independence, it would be extra special to
honor those members who are on the front line securing it. Helping
to bring back this soldiers dogs would be the ultimate reward,
honoring why they serve in the military, which is to protect life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's estimated that to bring
both dogs back will cost around $9,000. The only way they can ensure that the
soldier's dogs can be brought back is by raising the funds that it
will take to do so. To help support Guardians of Rescue, make a
