Our nation’s military dogs need your voice right now!

Monday, Oct 26th, 2015 | By Dr. Marty Becker

Friends, I need you to take action RIGHT NOW to help our nation’s military dogs!

After so many years of trying, the American Humane Association​ finally managed to get members of Congress to include language in the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) guaranteeing our military working dogs a ride home to U.S. soil after retirement and giving their handlers first rights of adoption.

For reasons not related to our military dogs, the bill has just been vetoed.

These brave dogs, who each save the lives of between 150-200 U.S. warriors during their careers, need you to help them by telling your member of Congress to uphold the 2016 NDAA.

Send a message loud and clear that we need to do right by these heroes and bring them home, where they can enjoy a well-deserved retirement and continue to save lives of veterans battling PTSD!

There is a simple form to help you make your voice heard here.

I almost never ask you to share things I post, but I am asking you now: Spread this as far as you can!
