The series was first conceived and launched by authors Pauline Baird Jones and Veronica Scott in 2015. Their twin goals were to engage with pet-loving readers of science fiction romance and to raise money for a pet-related charity. They selected Hero Dogs (Hero-Dogs.org), a charity that raises, trains, and places support dogs with U.S. veterans and first-responders. About Pets in Space
