Hi! I’m Polina! I’m a 1 year old lab mix the Shelter to Soldier team adopted from Wags & Walks under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of the San Diego Woman’s Club.
I’m a sweet and eager pup ready for training! I love playing with any toy and always enjoy winding down after a good session with a cozy cuddle. Whether it’s going on exciting adventures or relaxing at home, I’m the perfect balance of energy and chill!
Did I mention I’ve also been matched with US Navy Veteran, Anastasia? Of course it was an easy pick with my loving personality and my sweet eyes. We can’t wait to train together for the next few months!

Hi! I’m Libby, a 2 year old Lab Mix the Shelter to Soldier team adopted from Labs & More under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of Karen & Jeff Shabel.
I’m a spunky pup with a heart full of adventure and a nose for duty! I’m always on the move, whether I’m helping my human with daily tasks or chasing after my favorite squeaky toy. Did I mention I’ve flown to D.C. for a service dog conference? No big deal—I was an absolute pro on the plane, napping through most of it (until I spotted a snack cart, of course). I got to show off my skills to other service dogs and their humans.
So far, I’ve been doing great with my US Army Veteran, Tom! He says I’m the best and I’m super smart. We’ve recently passed the second phase of our training program too! Onto phase three and we’ll be set for graduation pretty soon here!

Hi! I’m Diego! I’m a 2-year-old Labrador Mix the Shelter to Soldier team adopted from as an owner surrender under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of the Linden Root Dickinson Foundation. I’m the second psychiatric service dog trainee they’ve sponsored!
I’m a lovable goofball, and I’ve got some great skills to match! I walk well on a leash and know basic obedience commands. My trainer, Kris, loves taking me on walks to help me experience new sounds, smells, and people. With my tall and strong stature, I’ve already caught the attention of US Navy Veteran, Marcus! Together, we’ll take on the world in no time.
Hi! I’m Reggie! I’m a 1 year old labrador retriever the Shelter to Soldier team adopted from Labs & More under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of Griffin Funding! I am the 6th dog they have sponsored! I’m a charming pup with an irresistible knack for melting into people’s laps and I can instantly create a bond with anyone lucky enough to be in my presence. I bring joy and laughter wherever I go!
About a month ago, I’ve luckily matched with US Navy Veteran, Eglantina! She says she already feels better having me around and we’ve been having cuddle sessions after our obedience training. We can’t wait to graduate!

Hi! I’m Jet! I’m a 1.5 year old labrador retriever the Shelter to Soldier team adopted from Labs & More under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of Lisbeth Eddy!
I’m the sweetest trainee you’ll ever meet! I might act like an old man, but I can’t resist a good game of fetch—I even get happy feet while waiting for my trainer to throw the ball. Car rides, sniffing around, and rolling in the park are some of my favorite activities. Because I’m great with obedience, luring, and am well-mannered, I’ve been so lucky to have matched with USAF Veteran, Jon! The team is thrilled to watch us grow and can’t wait to see what we accomplish.
