Shelter to Soldier
About Shelter to Soldier
Shelter to Soldier's motto is Saving Two Lives At A Time. And they accomplish this by rescuing dogs from local shelters and transforming them into psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 combat veterans who are affected by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and other injuries resulting from their traumatic service. With unmatched expertise in training service dogs, Shelter to Soldier is devoted to using their talents to honor the military personnel who have selflessly served our country.
Why Shelter to Soldier is so Important
Unfortunately, according to a study conducted by the Veterans Affairs Department, an average of 17 veterans commit suicide each day in the United States.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as each individual experiences mental health conditions differently and will respond to treatment in their own way. However, many veterans who have been paired with a service dog report significant reductions in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, isolation, and nightmares. In some cases, the presence of a furry friend can be enough to help a veteran feel comfortable leaving the house and re-engaging with the world – something that might not be possible without the help of a four-legged companion.
