July 16, 2017 - American Humane’s Shelter to Service First Graduating Class of Service Dogs and Retired Warriors
Saving America’s Vets and America’s Pets
American Humane’s Lois Pope LIFE Center for Military Affairs launched a new initiative to help our brave veterans and more of America’s beautiful, adoptable animals. Every day, 20 veterans struggling with the invisible wounds of war take their own lives, and 670,000 dogs are euthanized in U.S. shelters each year.
To help turn the tide of veteran suicide and save the lives of more adoptable animals, American Humane announced the first graduating class of service dogs in its new national “Shelter to Service” program. The initiative rescues shelter dogs and trains them to become lifesaving service animals for veterans.
American Humane introduced the first class of service dog graduates at the Hamptons, Long Island home of philanthropists Jewel and Robert Morris amid a sea of some 200 humanitarian and celebrity advocates, including its president Dr. Robin Ganzert, country star Naomi Judd, actress and author Beth Stern, New York City socialite Jean Shafiroff, and many others.
American Humane’s Shelter to Service program was made possible thanks to a wide range of committed supporters and generous sponsors, including, among many others, The Lois Pope LIFE Foundation, Zoetis, Hallmark Channel, NCR Foundation, Banfield Foundation, Adtalem Foundation, Kriser’s Natural Pet, Matt Martin Foundation, Door Automation Corp., Kyrus Charities, Claire Friedlander Family Foundation, The Philly Pack, Monster Energy, Marta Heflin Foundation, Red River Charitable Foundation, Nora Roberts Family Foundation, All About Dogs, LLC, and Merck Animal Health. Without their support, this program would not be possible.
