Shelter to Soldier™ is a CA 501c3 nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from local shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 combat veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and/or other injuries associated with traumatic service experiences. Every day, 20 US veterans and 1 active duty service member are lost to suicide. That’s an average of one life lost every 69 minutes. The suicide rate among the nation’s military personnel has spiked this year, eclipsing the number of troops dying in battle and on pace to set a record annual high since the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan more than a decade ago. PTSD is a major problem for our men and women in uniform, and its effects last far and beyond the battlefield.
When our friends at Shelter to Soldier reach out to Labs & More asking for a donation of a service dog candidate, we carefully consider who is among our top recommendations of dogs for them to evaluate.
Many thanks to Shelter to Soldier for the work you do in our community, training and placing shelter dogs as service animals for post-9/11 combat veterans. We are proud to call you a partner.
Thank you to our donors and supporters who without your support we could not continue to rescue, rehabilitate and donate these worthy dogs to a priceless cause.
