A Note From the couple
Thomas Palmer & Claire Peterson
Team Rubicon is an organization dedicated to pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to provide disaster relief, domestically and abroad. In this way, it provides community, identity, and purpose for military veterans, while serving the most deeply affected areas of the world to help communities recover faster from natural disasters.
When Thomas deployed to Africa his brother and cousin lovingly volunteered to welcome and care for Addie. Not all service members are fortunate enough to have family and friends in a position to care for their pets while they are deployed. For that reason, Dogs on Deployment offers a resource to military men and women, connecting them with pre-screened boarders and other resources to ensure their pets are cared for during their deployment.
