From Military Families

We had 30 days to get our Bulldog from Fort Liberty to Kadena. Paws en route had a full compliance plan in our hands within 24 hours—FAVN schedule, quarantine waiver options, everything. We couldn't have done it without them.

Army Captain — Fort Liberty to Kadena Air Base

CONUS → Japan

My husband got orders to Ramstein with 6 weeks notice. Two dogs, one of them a restricted breed. They found a routing solution no other service even knew was possible.

Spouse of USAF Staff Sergeant — McGuire-Dix to Ramstein AB

New Jersey → Germany

The JTR reimbursement package they provided saved us hours of back-and-forth with finance. Every receipt was formatted exactly the way the travel office needed.

Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant — USAG Humphreys

Camp Pendleton → South Korea
