• A portion of all proceeds are donated to Shelter to Soldier™, a non-profit organization that rescues dogs to train as service animals for veterans in need.

The Shelter to Soldier nonprofit is a two-in-one program. They adopt dogs from local shelters and train them to be service dogs for combat veterans suffering from numerous ailments. The program came about because of two jarring stats. The first is that yearly, about 1.2 million dogs are euthanized due to behavioral issues, illness, or lack of space. The second stat, was that every 69 minutes a veteran or service member’s life is lost due to suicide. Neither of these issues are easy to tackle but Shelter to Soldier found a way to bridge the two. Training old rescue dogs and giving veterans/service members a willing companion to help them through hard times. Providing support in this way, Shelter to Soldier continues to positively impact veterans and prove that old dogs can certainly learn new tricks.
