Meet our Veterans and their Service Dogs

Danny Austin is our Veteran Liaison who served 3 tours in Vietnam as a dedicated soldier for 12 years in the United States Air Force. Danny loves music and his jam group he plays with on Fridays, and living with his service dog, Duke. 

Steve Runnels is our Assistant Veteran Liaison who served in the United States Army as a gunner for 5 years. In Steve’s spare time, he enjoys playing disc golf, lives with his wife, along with his service dog Lily.

Rest in Peace Dear Friend

With heavy hearts we had to say goodbye to one of our veterans, Jack Shelton, who unfortunately lost his battle with ALS.

His service dog, Izzy, will continue on as an emotional support animal, supporting not only Jack’s wife, Cindy, but also patients in hospitals and nursing homes.
