DALLAS, TX, November 08, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Veterans who serve our country make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Did you know, that man's best friend at home and out for duty next to our soldiers are being surrendered to animal shelters since a large number of our military bases cannot facilitate pets?
This Veterans Day, DFW pet lovers are called to take action alongside CAVI on Temporary Duty (TDY), a non-profit 501c3, at the launching of its first pet food and donation drive. DFW residents are asked to "Give This Dog a Bone" by donating a new bag of dry dog food any size or brand or making a finical contribution to Dogs on Deployment.
The average deployment is 9 to 12 months with boarding costs ranging from $3000 to $5000. Cavi on TDY will be partnering with Dogs on Deployment * for this one day event, at which 100% of the money raised from the drive will go Dogs on Deployment. The dog food will be donated to the Fort Hood Animal Shelter on Base.
Where: Mutts Cantina
What: Any size bag of dry dog food to be donated to the Fort Hood Animal Shelter. Financial donations will benefit Dogs on Deployment
When: Veteran's Day, November 11, 2016 at 8:00am-1:00 pm
Who: Cavi on TDY and Dogs on Deployment
Events goal is to provide 500 pounds of dry dog food to help the Fort Hood Animal Shelter. Funds raised during the event will go to Dogs on Deployment to support their mission to give military members peace of mind concerning their pets during their service commitments by providing them with the ability to find people and resources able to help them.
We have all seen the heartwarming reunions of military personal and they pets they left behind, please help us make more of those memories this Veterans Day. Cavi TDY and Dogs on Deployment are thrilled to partner together to help raise funds and awareness for the need of more volunteers in the DFW community.

About Dogs On Deployment
https://www.dogsondeployment.org
Dogs on Deployment is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit providing a central network for military members to find volunteers willing to board their pets while they are deployed or have other service commitments, making them unable to temporarily care for their pets. Dogs on Deployment exists to help military members keep their pets by alleviating the need for pet relinquishment from military members due to the hardships of deployments.
Additionally, Dogs on Deployment promotes responsible, life-long pet ownership in the military community by helping qualified military members with the cost of pet care during emergencies, and/or before and during deployments in order to promote responsible pet-ownership through their Pet Chit Program.
