DEPLOYMENT KITS

Helping Service Members’ Dogs Settle Into Foster Care

​

Moving into a temporary foster home can be a significant adjustment for a dog. Each Deployment Kit brings together familiar comforts, everyday essentials, and important care information to help make that transition feel safer and less disruptive.

​

A favorite toy, blanket, or familiar food can provide comfort in an unfamiliar environment, while medical records, medication information, and emergency contacts give foster families the practical details they need to provide consistent care. Everything is organized and packed with the individual dog’s needs in mind.

​

Deployment Kits help reduce uncertainty for foster families, ease the transition for dogs, and reassure service members that important details and familiar pieces of home will travel with the companions they love.
