Trying to help some soldiers, their furry friend Charlie, and a fellow herper (see link below). I am donating 50% of all proceeds after shipping costs to getting this dog out of Afghanistan.

Hey everyone,

I am going to try to get a dog sent home from Afghanistan to keep him from getting put down. We have had to kill numerous dogs out here, as many of them are feral and they can carry a large number of diseases that can seriously compromise
the health of soldiers. That said, this particualr dog, Charlie, has been around since he was only 6 weeks old and is very loved by the soldiers here. To save him from being destroyed we gave him to an Afghan NCO at a checkpoint to get him off the FOB, however on a recent mission he started following the trucks to our objective and then ran all the way back to the FOB from the objective with the trucks. Now that he is back I am afraid that the new unit here will put him down once we leave. I have contacted "The Puppy Rescue Mission" and am going to go through the process to get him sent home, but I have to raise about $4000-$5000 to get this done. The Pupppy Resuce Mission will raise some but the faster I can get it raised the faster he can get home. Once the Seals that are here redeploy I will be giving Charlie to one of them, but I will keep him in the mean time. Any and all help will be appreciated to help save Charlie, who is one of the sweetest dogs that I've ever met. If you can send anything to help it would be greatly appreciated. Please either contact me or send donations through payapl to bruce.a.archambault@us.army.mil. If for any reason I am unable to get Charlie sent home all money raised will go to "The Puppy Rescue Mission" to help other soldiers that are trying to get dogs sent back to the States from Afghanistan. Beth, do you know anyone that could help with this and could you share this post with anyone that you know that is a dog lover and would be willing to help? Thanks in advance!"
