Leading promotional product company's fourth Shelter to Soldier sponsored service dog has been adopted and dog naming contest winner announced.
Tustin, California (November 27, 2023)Logomark, an industry-leading promotional product supplier, has announced the adoption of a fourth service dog made possible through Logomark’s support of Shelter to Soldier, a non-profit organization that adopts dogs from rescues and shelters, then trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for veterans in need.
The newest addition to their team of adopted dogs is an eight-month-old male Labrador Retriever mix.
“We are excited to announce our latest adoption and can’t wait for him to be paired with a veteran,” stated Michael Bistocchi, Chief Revenue Officer at Logomark. “He is affectionate, friendly and energetic, making him an excellent candidate for service dog training.”
Shelter to Soldier®, is a CA 501c3 nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from Southern California rescue organizations and shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and/or other psychological injuries associated with traumatic service experiences.
Logomark conducted a Dog Naming Contest in honor of the new adoption. After receiving hundreds of entries, the winning name selected by the executive team was “Max”, submitted by Kevin Powers from Idegy, Inc. from Columbus, Ohio. Kevin won a Perka® Kempton 40 oz. Double Wall, Stainless Steel Travel Mug & an iCool® Pinecrest 20-Can Cooler. Runner up Theresa Jimenez from Ward Promotional Marketing Solutions submitted the name Max 25 minutes later and has won a Perka® Kempton 40 oz. Travel Mug.
“Logomark's previous service dogs including, Trooper and Lucky, and emotional support animal Scout, are a testament to the lifesaving work of Shelter to Soldier. Logomark recognizes the impact that service dogs can have on veterans' mental health, and we are proud to support an organization that makes a difference in the lives of those who have served our country,” stated Bistocchi.
“Shelter to Soldier is honored to have the support of the Logomark team as we strive, together, to continue ‘Saving Lives, Two at a Time’ stated, Cofounder and Vice President of Shelter to Soldier.
