FirstBarkAn awesome program that has helped me in numerous ways. Nina and Jenny are there for you throughout the training program and are very knowledgeable in pairing you with the perfect dog!! I am very very proud that I entered this program and have my new very best friend! If you know of a veteran with PTSD, TBI you can rest assured that this program is a very good resource.

About Shelter to Service
Shelter to Service pairs rescued dogs with Veterans and then provides an extensive training program for the dog to become a service dog for that Veteran. Because of the generousity of our donors, there is no cost to the Veteran for training or equipment. We can also train a Veteran's personal dog if the dog is rescued and passes service dog evaluation. Shelter to Service works to give an honorable purpose to the rescued dog, and help the Veteran form an unbreakable bond with their dog, and a lifeline for themselves. With respect and compassion for both the dog and the Veteran, Shelter to Service will be "Saving Heroes at Both Ends of the Leash".

This is a great program! The trainers are excellent! They are knowledgeable, helpful and are there for you throughout the whole program. In my personal experience, I got matched up with a great dog and appreciate all they've done for me. You couldn't ask for any better organization.

The folks that organized, and operate this group are top notch folks. While I am not a vet, I know that they work hard with every pup they bring in from the shelters to ensure he/she is well trained and paired with just the right veteran. Their hearts are huge and being able to help a veteran go through life with a faithful companion that is trained to his/her needs is really such an amazing gift. Please check out this group of fine folks and pups. If, you or someone you know has this need, just reach out and make contact. If you don't have a need and want to donate to an amazing group or sponsor a pup, reach out as well🙏🐾🇺🇸

Great experiance!! Nina and Jenny are wounderful and there to answer any questions you may have. The training is 6 months and is structured very well to be a perfect pace for the dogs and the handlers. The dogs are choosen from the Rown County Animal Shelter so they are not only helping a dog but also helping a veteran. I am so glad to have found this organization and to have found my wounderful Nyla!

A Life-Changing Experience This is a truly wonderful program, offering the best training you can get from an incredibly experienced and supportive staff. From the very beginning, Nina and Jenny guided me in finding the perfect shelter dog—and it turned out to be an amazing match. We’ve formed a strong, lasting bond. The team works closely with you, teaching you how to train your dog the right way and offering continued support whenever you have questions. Best of all, this is a free program for local veterans who qualify—an unbeatable offer. By participating, you’re not only helping yourself, but also giving a shelter animal a second chance at life. If you know a veteran who could benefit from this program, please reach out to Shelter to Service through their website or Facebook page. I will be forever grateful for this life-changing experience.
