Fundraising Strategy Volunteer Opportunity at Dogs on Deployment

About Us

Dogs on Deployment is a national non-profit organization that connects military service members with volunteers willing to board their pets during deployments and other military commitments.

• Rich Setzer Memorial Fund (RSMF): Provides financial assistance for emergency veterinary care, pet relocation during PCS moves, and spaying/neutering services.
• Veterinary Assistance Program (VAP): Offers financial aid for emergency veterinary care to alleviate the burden on military families.
• Pet PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Program: Eases the financial and logistical challenges of relocating pets during military reassignments.
• Operation Pet Wellness (OPW): Partners with local organizations in San Diego to provide wellness services like spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping to military pets.
• Operation Shelter Partners: Collaborates with local animal shelters to prevent pet relinquishment and promote military pet adoption support.
