DoD provides military members, veterans and first responders the access to volunteers who board their pets during their deployments and service commitments. The whole family serves, and because pets are such an important part of all of our families, this organization really takes care of not only the pet but that person who is serving our country.

And  a special thanks to Army Veteran Elizabeth Cordejo for telling us your story, and congratulations to Kali Cordejo, DoD 2020 Military Pet of the Year!
