and trains 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). The program also places emotional support animals (ESAs) with active duty military and veterans, and deploys the Shelter to Soldier Canine Ambassadors, a team of certified therapy dogs and their volunteer handlers, to provide no-cost visits of love and comfort to local military, veterans and their families.</p> <p><a class="button" href="http://www.sheltertosoldier.org/mission">Learn more about our mission <i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></a></p> <p><a class="button" href="http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/manage/optin?v=001emHU8ZhrsEaJxMYNARYx3Y2UB0cmI5OqjEU7pUwPgq-UPx032uLoIC--XMJhy20nLpH9WhnBy48qKLCHW-ZzqTR_EOGTlgDkdjGTHE71tm881la4TYT73WZhwOcYpPjSGyBhbQM032tOPieDJLQvI8T54xQDDrVb-PYlZdByOrbMy6sJqc0jfRil_L65cor6">Stay updated on the mission <i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></a></p> <p><a class="button" href="http://www.sheltertosoldier.org/impact-reports">See the impact we are having <i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></a></p> </div> <div id="welcome-info"> <ul> <li> <img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.sheltertosoldier.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/iStock_000023289609_XXXLarge-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://www.sheltertosoldier.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/iStock_000023289609_XXXLarge-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.sheltertosoldier.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/iStock_000023289609_XXXLarge-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.sheltertosoldier.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/iStock_000023289609_XXXLarge-100x100.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /> <h2><strong>Every <span>69 minutes</span></strong> A US Veteran commits suicide</h2> <p>On average, 17 Veterans and 1 Active Duty military personnel commit suicide, every day.
