Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for Guardian Angels For Soldier's Pet! While training for the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Run I kept thinking about raising awareness for a charity organization through my participation in this ultramarathon.  My wife and I have a love of animals (both of our dogs are rescue dogs) and I was trying to tie that love of animals into my fund raising endeavor.  While watching Oprah one day (yes, I'm secure in my manhood to say I enjoy some of her shows!), she said something that slapped me in the face.  It went along the lines of "if you don't know a soldier in our current war and asked them how you can help, you really don't care." Folks on the show suggested to do a search on the internet for how to help soldiers in my area. The rest is history!!

GASP supports our Military, Veterans, and their beloved Pets to ensure the pets are reunited with their owners following a deployment (combat or peace-keeping mission) in harm's way to fight the global war on terrorism or unforseen emergency hardship impacting their ability to retain their pet's ownership rights. 

Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet also has a Military Pet Assistance program. This program was designed to financially assist with pet related costs involving those pets fostered via our Foster Home program. Pet related costs can include such expenses as pet transport, additional pet training, and emergency pet boarding where we need to move a pet to a different foster home during the foster time.

Last but not least, GASP is in the process of creating the MVP Sanctuary.  This will be a special place for the pets of military service members deploying where the organization did not have an approved foster home available when one was needed.  It will also expand the organization's ability to help our veterans with their pets in an emergency or hardship  situation.  The initial Sanctuary will be built in Texas.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Cheers,

Tim Weiss
