Dogs on Deployment contest open now

Looking to support a cause? Dogs on Deployment is a national non-profit dedicated to helping America’s service members find volunteers to board their pets while serving our country. The organization is holding its annual “Military Pet of the Year” photo competition to find its new mascot for 2014. The top three finalists are awarded prizes to celebrate their service and pet ownership. For more information, email info@dogsondeployment.org. Photos will be accepted through midnight on Feb. 21. Winners will be announced March 2. Active duty, reservist and honorably discharged veterans are encouraged to enter.
