Shelter to Soldier

What an honor it was to be a charity partner of the Local Media San Diego x @subaru_usa #sharethelove Holidays In Your Car and Concerts In Your Car events. Our team joined theirs today for a check presentation of their $20,000 contribution to our mission at Shelter to Soldier! Thank you Local Media San Diego and Subaru for the incredible support and opportunity for so many to learn of the services we offer to veterans and homeless dogs in need. . #subaru #givingback #dogrescue #veterans #ptsd #localmediasandiego

Welcome to our pack, Kobe! He’s a handsome guy, and he has a personality we think makes him a great psychiatric service dog candidate for a future veteran in need. His adoption and journey in our program were generously sponsored by our friends at @boeing! Through their dedication to veterans and their #BoeingInspires initiatives, they’ve sponsored four dogs through our program. We still have two more to adopt, and we can’t wait to meet them soon! Thank you to @sddac Carlsbad Shelter for giving him such a great first start to finding our program and his forever home. . #boeing #veteransmakeusbetter

It’s a great day to have a great day! . Angus the service dog trainee wishes you all a SPECTACULAR day, with smiles this big to guide your way! We adopted Angus back in August last year from our good friends @wagsandwalks under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of Ann and Andy Evans! He is such a superstar and we’re so proud of how far he’s come in our training program. . #rescuepup #rescue #adopt #pibble #dogtraining #socal #servicedogintraining #servicedog #veteran #ptsd
