Military & Veterans Pet (MVP) Sanctuary

In January 2007 the Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet Board of Directors approved the following plan to be known as the “MVP Sanctuary Project”.

• Development of a special place for the pets of military service members deploying where the organization does not have an approved foster home available.

• Expand the organization's ability to help our veterans with their pets in an emergency or hardship situations.

• Establish a physical location to accomplish the "day-to-day" operations of Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet (central organization) and the Arkansas MVP Sanctuary.

• Establish MVP Sanctuaries in other states, modeled after the first MVP Sanctuary located in Arkansas.

The MVP Sanctuary will allow the Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet organization to:

• Provide a caring, loving, and safe temporary home-like environment where initially a Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet approved individual foster home is not available to care for the pet/pets to meet the pet owner's time line.

• Better ensure the pet is waiting for their owner's safe return from the deployment. 

• Expand our program and service to our veterans who need a temporary home for their pet in emergency hardship type situations.
