Dogs on Deployment is a nonprofit organization focused on supporting military pet ownership by connecting service members with volunteers who can board their pets during deployments and other service commitments. The group also provides financial assistance for emergency pet care through its Financial Assistance Program, and advocates for increased pet owner rights on military installations, along with education on responsible, lifelong pet ownership. Its services target Active Duty, Reservists, National Guard Members, Coast Guard, Veterans, and First Responders, offering a network to alleviate pet-care stress when military duties create caregiving uncertainty. Based in Escondido, California, Dogs on Deployment was founded in 2011 and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to support military families and their pets through resources, advocacy, and community partnerships. A notable development includes partnerships and program initiatives reported in 2020–2021, such as collaborations with Tractor Supply Company and other organizations to recognize volunteers and broaden support for pet care during deployment.
