The dog pictured, Miss Fire, is NOT a Military Working Dog but the dog of a Military member, SGT Kyle Henry who was injured in Iraq and who died upon his return to the USA in October 2011. Fire went to live with SGT Henry’s best friend in November 2011. The friend can no longer keep her and SGT Henry’s mother lives in a “No Pets” retirement community. Fire’s family is moving in 2 1/2 weeks and lives in the Tampa Bay, FL area. If you can give Fire a home you may not be helping a Hero dog…but you will MOST CERTAINLY be helping the beloved companion of a HERO Warrior who is no longer with us. If interested, please email SGT Henry’s mother at patricia.henry5@gmail.com with your contact information.

There are volunteer transport organizations that I’m sure will help with transport if there was anyone far away that would be willing to open up their home.

I put the word out with a couple of organizations that might be able to help. I’d take her myself if I didn’t live in a “no pets allowed” duplex.

I would take her in as a foster, but I can’t afford to transport her to AZ. Are their services for that?

There are dozens for pet rescue transportation organizations for people who want to adopt this little pumpkin but can’t afford to transport her. Here are just a few: http://www.farec.org/transport.htm.
