Save Ratchet!
Army stops Iraq GI from bringing puppy home - Military - MSNBC.com
First, the good news: thanks to pressure from folks like you, SPCA International's Operation Baghdad Pups secured Ratchet's release!
Then, the bad news: the military did NOT release him in time for the flight back home on Wednesday. They gave Ratchet clearance to be released just 30 minutes before SPCA International's rescue expert, Terri Crisp, was to lift off from the Baghdad tarmac and he missed the flight. SPCA International plans to make another emergency return trip to Baghdad to rescue Ratchet as soon as Sunday.
Obviously, these flights are expensive but every animal's life is worth it. SPCA International's program Operation Baghdad Pups relies entirely on the generous donations of people like you. You can donate today at www.SPCA.com to help save Ratchet and other soldiers' animals just like him who are waiting for safe transportation to the U.S.
Equally important, we must keep the pressure on the U.S. military to ensure that Ratchet remains safe until he can be rescued. And we must and make sure the military releases all animals adopted by servicemembers so they can be brought back the U.S. to the loving homes that await them.
