A chance at a better life

The following links tell the story much better than I could...

Nowzad Dogs - you'll notice some of the adult dogs have their ears and tails cut off (to make them more ferocious fighting dogs)

About Kabul dogfighting (this is heartbreaking!)

There are dozens of additional stories about soldiers discovering children beating puppies, or finding dogs after that have been stabbed, cut, or disfigured.

There's something to say about what enjoyment and light these puppies have brought to the guys, and it seems only fair to give them a chance at a better life.

The MEDEVAC Puppies' Story

Lucky, the mother dog, was named after she ran for almost 20 miles following a patrol convoy. When she finally tired out, she was scooped up and brought back to the base. She began surviving off of scraps on the base, and eventually became pregnant from another dog the soldiers had also taken to. Unfortunately, he was later killed as most dogs on base are typically euthanized. Nearing the day Lucky was going to give birth, a platoon (Medevac) was supposed to relocate to a new base. They flew very pregnant Lucky with them there, only to find their living space was not yet ready. Not wanting to leave her there by herself ready to give birth, they flew her back (again luckily), and she gave birth that night. The next day, mom and 9 puppies were flown to the new base where they now have their own dog shelter. There has been a strong effort within the platoon to care for these puppies, having dog food, toys, treats, and other supplies sent to them. Without their care, the dogs would likely be euthanized, or severely mistreated in numerous ways (it is not uncommon in the local culture to beat dogs to death, or use them for dog fighting, for example). Three guys have committed their efforts to bringing the 3 dogs home (while the rest will have to be brought to a shelter) with the help of the Tigger House (http://www.afghanstrayanimals.org), but we need support to help meet the costs (it's around $3000+/dog to get the 3 dogs to the U.S.).
