Yuko, a dog left behind by its owner, enjoys time outside of her cage at the veterinary clinic here Feb. 13. Inside the clinic there are so few cages that the pets left behind are only kept for 72 hours before vets humanely euthanize them. A common problem for servicemembers changing duty stations is not knowing how far in advance to book flight space for their pet. Servicemembers should allow at least six months in advance to conduct a permanent change of station to work::r::::n::with the airlines and travel office.
