About Us
THE PET BRIGADES HISTORY ON JBLM
The Pet Brigade is a full-service pet spa that is owned and operated by Regis and Nancy Jackson. It is the only privately owned boarding facility on a military post in the United States. The Jacksons worked with Joint Base Lewis-McChord personnel to develop this kennel so that military families, retirees, and civilians with JBLM access would have the finest accommodations for their pets.
After several years of working with the Contracting Office of the U.S. Department of the Army under the Department of Defense, along with the Office of Morale, Welfare, and Recreation at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the facility opened April 14, 2008.
Since 2008 The Pet Brigade has helped thousands of soldiers with their pet care needs, ranging from lodging during deployment, rehoming and fostering pets, helping transport military pets across the globe, and everyday care. Pets are an integral part of many soldiers’ lives, and The Pet Brigade was founded to fulfill that need in military life. Regis and Nancy, along with their staff, believe that it is the ultimate blessing to work with and help those who stand up for our Nation every day.
