Even if only for a brief moment, Sabrina Ruckes wondered whether Puma, her 5-year-old Maltipoo would remember her. MORE ⬇️
The love of an animal is only matched by our love for them. For Sabina and Puma, their reunion last week was a year in the making.Ruckes is a Sergeant in the US Army. Last year, orders came in that she’d be heading to South Korea for a year after being stationed in Phoenix for the past two.
Unfortunately, she says she didn’t have any friends or family who could care for Puma while deployed. That’s when she found a special program and a special woman in the Valley.“I just appreciate their service, they are risking their life for my safety, for my grandkid's safety, I heard about this program, that’s the least I could do,” said Heidi.
“That’s the last thing she had to worry about was her dog, she knew he was in great hands,” said Heidi. “She got to get lots of love and live alongside our dogs. She really became part of the family.”The Humane Society says while most people have families who can watch over the pets of our service members, those who don’t depend on programs like these.
