Deploying troops’ pets need foster homes
Match-up service in S.C. seeks people in Europe and the Pacific to care for animals

Europe- and Pacific-based animal lovers wanting to support their deploying neighbors can help out by offering their homes and/or cash to the foster pet organization NetPets.

NetPets, founded by Steve Albin and endorsed by the Department of Defense, matches people willing to care for pets to deploying servicemembers in need of their generosity. So far, his free service has placed some 12,500 pets into foster homes since he began the project two days after the 9/11 attacks, Albin said by telephone last week from South Carolina.



People wishing to help out can sign up by clicking the Military Pets Foster Project tab on the netpets.org homepage. The site contains a form establishing what kind of pets the potential foster home can accommodate.
