  • Description: Puppy Rescue Mission (“PRM”) is a charitable organization founded by Anna, president and founding member of PRM. Anna’s idea for PRM began when her fiancé, Chris, was deployed to and stationed in Afghanistan. A few weeks prior to Chris’s arrival at his combat outpost, a suicide bomber entered the post in the middle of the night. The dogs on the post immediately started barking and took off in pursuit of the bomber. One of the dogs, Rufus, grabbed the bomber’s leg while two other dogs, Target and Sasha, alerted the troops. Realizing his cover was blown, the suicide bomber blew himself up never making it into the living quarters of the soldiers.
