I really have no idea where to go with this one
As some of you know, my friend Kathie is serving in the Army over in Afghanistan. She's a really remarkable woman, who, even as everything is going on around her, still has time to worry about the dogs that visit them at their base. I've attached her email in this post and she said she will get pictures to me hopefully by tonight (my time).

Hey Adge,
Do you know anyone who might want a dog? We have a couple of dogs here on
the compound and the vets are threatening to either euthenize them or take
them out to the desert to fend for themselves.
There are 2 I'm concerned about. One is Sapper, the dog who hangs out in
our office. Supposedly there is someone who is taking her, but that is not
certain. The other is Yoda, who is my favorite. She is a rather
"interesting"-looking dog. She is a cream color, with a very slender,
greyhound-like head and very thin legs and feet. She is a quiet dog and
somewhat timid. I would like to keep her, but they need to be out of here
in 3 weeks. Both are good dogs, but I have a soft spot for Yoda, probably
b/c she is the one who gets picked on b/c she has no tail.
Anyway, if someone would be willing to pick the dog up at the airport, I
would have them given their shots, spayed, and given a check-up by the vets
here. I would even pay for the shipping back to the States. I simply like
the dogs and would like to see them given a chance at a nice life.
I have never seen either of them around children, but they are friendly and
would do well if given a good home where they wouldn't have to fight for
their food or rummage through the garbage.
I have to leave for my new assignment this week, but one of the vets here
would be willing to handle shipping for me.
I also have pictures of the dogs, in case someone is interested in either of
them. Thanks!
Kathryn
I'd take Yoda myself, but living in an apartment with Seven and my friends Great Dane Maximus while she recovers from a car accident, there really is no room left at the inn right now.
Hopefully I can find someone to adopt this dog. She's grown really fond of her and Kathie being reassigned to another part of Afghanistan, she won't be able to watch out for her anymore.
Any suggestions would help. She's willing to pay for everything to keep Yoda from being put down. If there are any questions or messages you want me to forward on to her, either post them here, PM me or email me. It should be in my profile.
Thanks,
Adrian
