I know there is a non profit org out there that helps rescue these abused puppies over seas,can anyone help me get in contact with them? My son is in Afghanistan and witnessed many puppies be shot by other soldiers simply for sport! He has looked into bring one hes fallin in love with home and the cost is about 3 grand.If anybody can help me with info i would appreciate it. Thanks :)

There are plenty of rescues here in the states, tell him if he really wants to help, rescue one of our puppies.

Don't mean to sound crass, but thats 3000.00 that could go to help American Shelters. There are many in need.

I agree Torri but this boy is in Afghanistan and hes only thinking of what he can see and what he sees aint pretty so I applaud his efforts,this has been done before and im looking for the name of the org. that helps these poor animals. there are no shelters or vets over there these pups dont have a prayer at least the ones here have half a chance. :)

I think helping any animal is honorable.....no matter the address. It is obvious to me that your son has become attached to this dog...you cant put a price tag on that. Hope everything works out. :)

I do wish that he would report the soldiers that he has seen shooting the puppies

Thank you Southern hes a huge animal lover I too hope it works out but im trying to prepare him for the worst I dont see this ending well but I promised I would try to help him find these people. The thing that upsets me is its our own soldiers shooting these puppies for no rhyme or reason

This absolutely breaks my heart i really hope that the guys doing this are punished for it and hope things work out well for him.

It is very sad to see that our soldiers are killing these animals, but its known that alot of these animals are used as bomb carts. I feel for your son, I really do. I dont think reporting these soldiers is really going to make a difference though.

Good luck in your plight!

It didnt sound like to me that they were worried about the dog carrying a bomb it sounded like to me that they just wanted to kill the dog. Which is sad not to mention shows a lack of character on their part.

Rozanne ... here is an article about it http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-washington-dc/american-soldiers-adopt-afghan-and-iraqi-dogs I know "Operation Baghdad Pups" is in Iraq but if you can get in touch with them maybe they can get you in touch with the Afghanistan version ... hope it helps!
