What happens when both you and your spouse are suddenly called to military duty, leaving your beloved pet with no one to care for them? This was the challenge Alisa Sieber-Johnson faced, which inspired her to co-found Dogs on Deployment. This nonprofit provides crucial support for military families by connecting service members and first responders with volunteer pet boarders through their online platform. This ensures that no pet has to be surrendered due to deployment. Additionally, the organization offers financial assistance and other resources that significantly impact those who serve nationwide.

In this heartwarming episode, Alisa shares her journey of starting Dogs on Deployment and how the organization has become a vital resource for military personnel and their pets. We explore the wide-reaching impact of their services and the diverse range of pets they support, driven by Alisa’s unwavering commitment to military pet owners.

You’ll also hear the inspiring story of a dedicated Marine Corps officer and pilot who discovered a profound calling in pet fostering. Balancing a demanding career with a commitment to helping military families, his story underscores the critical role of foster homes, the ongoing need for volunteers, and the transformative power of community support to ensure no pet is left behind.
