Lola went home with her veteran handler, Tony Medina, USN in December 2020 as an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)! Lola is beaming with pride for the good girl she knows she is! Thanks to her sponsor The Charitable Foundation San Diego (of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services) for sponsoring her adoption from San Diego Department of Animal Services Carlsbad shelter, her training and placement with Tony. Success stories like theirs are only possible with the support of the community, and we are so thankful for our Red Star Sponsors who make them possible.
