Callie Espinoza

Veteran Services

Callie, a proud San Diego native, has nurtured a deep bond with animals since childhood. Her early years were filled with caring for family dogs, rescuing strays alongside her mom, and riding horses. Growing up as a military brat, she became accustomed to the frequent moves, but the camaraderie of service members and their families always felt like home.

Discovering Shelter to Soldier was a pivotal moment for Callie, allowing her to help others experience the same profound connection she feels with dogs. As a key member of our Veteran Services team, she serves as the first point of contact for those interested in our program. Callie not only guides veterans through the application process but also remains a steadfast support throughout their journey and beyond. She also captures heartfelt moments between our veteran recipients and their dogs, adding to the joy of the program.

In her spare time, Callie enjoys the company of her rescue calico, Willow, explores new eateries, and goes on daily trail runs, embracing the vibrant San Diego lifestyle.
