Hi! I’m Shelton! I’m a 5-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever the Shelter to Soldier team adopted from Labs & More under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of the Cox Foundation.
I may have aged out of the service dog program (the cutoff is three years old), but don’t let that fool you—I’ve already completed my training and know all of my task cues.
While I won’t be placed as a formal service dog, I’m still more than ready to be a steady, reliable companion. My training helps me stay calm, attentive, and adaptable in day-to-day life, and I truly thrive when I’m able to support my person emotionally and be by their side.
I’m looking for someone who wants a deeply connected, well-trained partner—someone who values consistency, companionship, and a dog who already understands how to show up when it matters.
