Providing a Home Until They Come Home

Who We Are

Operation Foster, formerly known as PACT, provides peace of mind to military personnel facing deployment and pet owners undergoing medical treatment by placing their pets into safe, loving foster homes until they can be reunited. Since our founding over 15 years ago, we’ve helped provide well over 100,000 safe nights to more than 3,000 pets in all 50 states.

Real Stories of Pets and Their People

Behind every placement is a family trying to do the right thing for their pet. Your support makes these reunions possible.

Derek & Coco

When a Marine staff sergeant was suddenly deployed overseas, he had days to find care for his 2-year-old Maltese, Coco. Operation Foster quickly matched Coco with a foster family in Arizona.

For 17 months, they sent regular updates and video chats so her owner could see Coco’s adventures. When he returned home, Coco sprinted into his arms. They still stay in touch with her foster family today.
