Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Military Pet Transportation

JBLM combines what were formerly Fort Lewis (Army) and McChord Air Force Base into a joint installation housing over 40,000 military personnel. PCS orders from JBLM send families to Fort Liberty in NC, Fort Cavazos in TX, Fort Carson in CO, and overseas staging points. GoGoPets' JBLM-specific experience makes pickup from Lakewood, DuPont, and University Place straightforward.

Military families at JBLM face a specific challenge: on-post housing move-out dates don't always align with commercial flight availability. GoGoPets bridges the gap, picking up pets from JBLM housing or nearby rentals and transporting to the destination base on a timeline that works for the family.
