Follow on Google News | Shelter to Soldier Launches "Shop for a Cause" Online Store to Help Veterans and Rescue DogsBy: Shelter to Soldier According to Shelter to Soldier Founder Graham Bloem, "The online store is a way to generate consistent sustainable revenue for the charity as well as provide a great platform for continued awareness." Bloem states that while the main mission at Shelter to Soldier is to provide service dogs to veterans in need, creating awareness about rescue dogs and veteran suicide is just as important. "The apparel line is available to all supporters nationwide, expanding the awareness…it is a dream come true. We're very excited to be launching our store during the holiday season for everyone to take part in giving back with each and every purchase." The online store includes Shelter to Soldier logo wear for both ladies and gentleman (t-shirts, tank tops, and caps), as well as a variety of logo accessories and gifts (insulated beverage cups, magnets and window clings). Kyrie' Bloem, Co-Founder of Shelter to Soldier explains, "It was so much fun to shoot photos of our products on the beach in San Diego, California, with two of our graduated-veterans and their service dogs…the enthusiasm preparing for the launch of our logo apparel line was infectious and the bond between the veterans and their dogs was heartwarming. Knowing that each and every sale from our online store will help other veterans and rescuedogs in need, brought smiles to everyone's faces!" Every 69 minutes a US veteran commits suicide and every day, 3200 dogs are euthanized nationwide. "Saving Lives, Two at a Time", Shelter to Soldier adopts dogs from shelters andrescues and helps save veterans from the perils of mental injury associated with traumatic combat experiences. The healing impact that a highly trained service dog provides for psychological treatment for US veterans improves their overall quality of life, personal relationships, confidence, and sense of security. Shelter to Soldier service dogs help US veterans integrate back into society and find their purpose, often for the first time since their military service.
