About Us

Shelter to Soldier is a nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from local shelters and trains them to become service dogs for post 9/11 combat veterans suffering from PTSD, TBI, Military Sexual Trauma, and or other injuries associated with traumatic service experiences. The program also places emotional support animals (ESAs) with active-duty military and veterans, as well as deploys the Shelter to Soldier Canine Ambassadors, a team of therapy dogs and their volunteer handlers, to provide visits of love and comfort to local military, veterans and their families.

Zero8Hundred’s Mission is to support transitioning military members throughout their post service lifecycle through impact, engagement, and social / community connection! Zero8Hundred provides a peer navigation, social work, platform that is collaborative in nature and is responsive to the needs of our service members transitioning back to our San Diego community.  Services offered assist with Employment, Education, Health & Wellness, Social / Community Connections / Networking, and Basic / Urgent Needs such as Housing, Food, Mental health, and Childcare.
