🐾 Today, we are sending the happiest of birthday wishes to U.S. Army veteran and Top Dogg K9 Foundation co-founder Sheila Rashad. 🎂

In 2011, Sheila and her husband Blake launched Top Dogg with a life-saving mission: to rescue dogs and train them as elite service animals for veterans battling the invisible wounds of war.

“To save a life on both ends of the leash” is the legacy Sheila helps build every day. Join us in wishing Sheila a wonderful birthday in the comments below!

Located in Atlanta, Ga

Look at this good boy! Geronimo is up for adoption. He is 1.5 years old, neutered, up to date on all shots, and obedience trained. Geronimo was part of our 2026 service dog training program, but his veteran Dan unexpectedly died earlier this month. Now, Geronimo is in need of a forever home. He is reactive to other male dogs but otherwise an all-around great dog! Email [email protected] for more information.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage secures our freedom, and their memory lives forever in our hearts. 🇺🇸

At Top Dogg K9 Foundation, we also recognize that for many of our surviving veterans, the battle continues long after they leave the front lines. Every day, we see the invisible wounds of war- but we also see the profound healing, independence, and peace that a dedicated service dog can bring to a hero's life.

This Memorial Day, let's honor the past by investing in the future of our veterans.

When a community comes together to protect those who protect us, incredible things happen. Earlier this month, CBS Atlanta highlighted a critical moment for the Top Dogg K9 Foundation. Facing a sudden, devastating failure of our dual A/C systems just as summer temperatures arrived, our mission of training and housing service dogs for disabled veterans was severely threatened.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Jeremy Melton (on this - his birthday!) and the entire team at Impact Service Group. Instead of just quoting a repair, they stepped up to completely donate and install two brand-new commercial systems at zero cost to our foundation. This monumental $40,000 lifeline was made possible through a true collaborative effort, with Impact Service Group rallying an incredible network of corporate partners: BHW Metals, Ayers Electric, Mingledorff's, and a Corvant Company called Rogers Mechanical.

Because of these businesses, our facility is safe, our dogs are cool, and we can continue focusing 100% of our resources on pairing veterans with the service animals they need. If you missed the original broadcast on May 3, please take a moment to watch and share this inspiring example of corporate citizenship.

A Lilburn service dog training center faced a dangerous setback — until a local company stepped in with a life-changing donation.

Both Adopted! Thanks to all for your inquiries!!!

Looking to adopt? We have two sweet six month old Golden Doodles that need homes!

Buttercup and Blossom are two of three pups that were too shy for service dog training. Their sister Bubbles found her forever home, but now these two shy girls are looking for theirs.

Yesterday, we lost one of our own in the VDOGS program.

Today, we honor the life of a Georgia veteran, author, and proud service dog companion whose story touched more people than he probably ever realized: Daniel Bryant.

Through his military service, his writing, and the quiet strength he carried through life’s challenges, he left behind a legacy of resilience, compassion, love, and courage. His book gave others a glimpse into his journey even though it was fiction, but those who knew him personally knew the battles behind the words.

His service dog, Geronimo, became not only a companion, but a symbol of the bond, healing, and trust that veterans so often find in these remarkable animals.

He served his country with honor, lived with fierce determination, and will be deeply missed by family, friends, and everyone whose lives he impacted along the way.

Rest easy, sir. Your watch is over, but your story will continue to live on.
