FORT PIERCE — At last, the wait was over.

For seven months, Army Infantry Sgt. Rohn Hultgren of Port St. Lucie waited to come home. In May of 2011, Hultgren was hurt while serving in Afghanistan. Awarded the Purple Heart, he was hospitalized at Fort Campbell, in Clarksville, Tennessee.

His wife, Jenna, traveled to be by his side, but his best friend, DeeBoe, a 4-year-old pit bull terrier, couldn’t come along. “I had to stay in hotels,” explained Jenna, “and DeeBoe couldn’t go with me.”

Jodi Jacobsen, Rohn’s mother, called Dogs & Cats Forever for help. “This is the first time they had done anything like this,” said Jacobsen. “They agreed to take DeeBoe until Rohn was released from the military.”
