Shelter to Soldier™ is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to Saving Lives, Two at a Time. We adopt dogs from local shelters and train them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and/or Military Sexual Trauma (MST), at no cost to the veteran.

In addition, our program places emotional support animals (ESAs) with active-duty military, veterans, Gold Star Families, and first responders in need of companionship and stability.

Our Shelter to Soldier Canine Ambassadors are certified therapy dogs and their volunteer handlers who provide no-cost visits of love and comfort to local military personnel, veterans, and their families throughout the community.
