Project Active Duty pairs military members’ pets with safe homes during deployment
Aug. 14
The Arizona Humane Society’s Project Active Duty program pairs military members who need to house their pets during deployment with locals who are ready to step forward to foster and take care of the animals.
It’s part of the larger Project Home Away from Home program, which helps all sorts of pet owners — not just service members. Through the program, pet owners who are in a critical time of need, which can range from housing instability to domestic violence, can send their pets to AHS.
Carrie Hughes, the foster manager at AHS joined Arizona Horizon along with Sabo, a two-year-old husky who is part of the program, and whose owner is currently deployed overseas.
