Shelter To Soldier has been an incredible support for my life. When I first came to them, I had been delaying asking for help for several years and finally reached a point I knew I couldn't go any further on my own. They helped me by having me meet several dogs with Cheeto being the best match supporting me in living my life. After going through the training with the incredible staff, we were able to graduate as a team. Well after graduating, I still get support from Shelter To Soldier anytime I might feel I'm developing bad habits, after bad habits and before approaching new situations I feel uncertain about myself.
They help not just with in person training after graduating but over the phone, video, etc however they can communicate and help you get the support you need.
Thank you for all you do and the community and support you provide.

Shelter to Soldier is one of the best places I have ever been employed. The love and care that the staff has for the dogs and the veterans we serve from the kennel techs, all the way to the owners is inspiring. Going to work there and volunteer with them every day made a huge impact on my life and I am so thankful I got to be a part of their team.
