(PRESS RELEASE) The holiday season can be particularly difficult for military personnel, especially those deployed overseas away from their home and families, including their dogs. DOGTV has partnered with Dogs on Deployment for #GivingTuesday and throughout the month of December to help give peace of mind, concerning their pets, to military members.
This month, DOGTV will give $10 to Dogs on Deployment for every new subscription beginning on #GivingTuesday or you can also give by donating directly to Dogs on Deployment. Visit dogtv.com/givingtuesday and use the code: GivingTuesday to get started. Your donations help Dogs on Deployment achieve their mission to find volunteer boarders willing to care for military pets and promote pet-owner responsibility by providing financial resources for military members to give care for their pets during times of need.
DOGTV also created video greeting cards for several of the dogs in the care of Dogs on Deployment foster homes.
“We’re hoping to brighten the day of our military personnel that can’t make it home to share the holiday this year with their beloved dogs,” stated Beke Lubeach, DOGTV general manager. “We’re excited to partner with Dogs on Deployment this holiday season to help generate awareness and funds for the great work they do all year long.”
Dogs on Deployment is a national nonprofit providing a central network for military members to find volunteers willing to board their pets while they are deployed or have other service commitments, making them unable to temporarily care for their pets. No pet should ever be surrendered to a shelter due to a military commitment. Dogs on Deployment exists to help military members keep their pets by alleviating the need for pet relinquishment from military members due to the hardships of deployments.
DOGTV is the only technology created specifically for dogs to help them relax and to entertain them when their pet parents have to leave the home and leave their dogs home alone. The sights and sounds that DOGTV provides enriches the dogs’ environment and allows them to experience happy stimulation and relaxation. Over 1 million happy dogs love and trust DOGTV every day.
DOGTV is currently available through DIRECTV, DISH, Comcast Xfinity, COX, RCN, Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon FireTV, Roku, and as an iOS and Android app.
