And you can also contact your local newspaper and TV stations to see if they'll do a story. I've sent the story to three stations in Birmingham, Alabama, as well as our newspaper. Maybe someone will be interested in publicizing the plight of these unhappy dogs.

And contact animal welfare organizations. I e-mailed PETA and HSUS already.

That would be an abombinable act for our military to execute...This is just a poor, innocent, helpless puppy who the solider wanted to help, as if it was a baby...Surely the military wont behave the way towards dogs the way Obama behaves towards aborted babies live....This is just horrible and I hope she gives the dog away before they can do anything...Has the military lost its mind like Wallstreet...This is so REDICULOUS.. I love animals and will distrust the army if it carries through with this!!! Cant the find something else to Focus on!!!?????

From M.A.R.S. Safe Haven:

We were able to secure Ratchet’s release, but the military did NOT release him in time for the flight back home. Another flight is necessary to pick him up.

If everyone reading this just gave a dollar...we could do this.

Please share this - donations needed now for another flight back to Iraq.

“Military Provides Ratchet Clearance, But Not in Time

Washington, DC October 15 – Ratchet did not make today’s SPCA
International (www.SPCA.com) flight out of Iraq. Just 30 minutes before
SPCA International’s rescue expert, Terri Crisp, was to lift off from the
Baghdad tarmac, the military finally gave Ratchet clearance to be released
from his location at COP Meade. The military’s slow response has put him
at risk because they did not release him in time for today’s flight out of
Iraq. 6 other U.S. soldiers’ dogs are on their way to safety escorted by
Terri Crisp, Operation Baghdad Pups program manager.

SPCA International and Congressional officials pursued every measure at
their disposal, but the military was too slow to act. Ratchet’s fate
hangs by a thin thread of hope that he will be kept safe long enough for
SPCA International’s Operation Baghdad Pups team to return. SPCA
International plans to make another emergency return trip to rescue
Ratchet as soon as Sunday.
