Dear family and friends,

We're heading into 2024 understanding that many if the dogs we have placed are 10+ years old. SFLS turns 12 in January 2024.

We have reports of some going to Rainbow Bridge and were saddened to hear about them. We are standing by to support those folks.

One of our vets who lost his dog went to his mental health provider (VA) to get a new letter of need. He was told that because some new studies show that service dogs do not help veterans. The studies said that service dogs keep veterans from dealing with their trauma.
So they will not give him a letter!!!

We certainly do not believe these "new studies"!!!!!

We would be interested in your thoughts about service dogs.

Hoping you all are well and taking care of yourselves.

Regards,
Larry, Cathie, and Suzy

Someday's he just wants it to end
Someday's he wants to live to be 110
Someday's he'd like a beach house in South Carolina
Someday's he's walking a trail in Indochina
Someday's he can still hear
"Corpsman Up" in his left ear
Someday's he thinks he should start drinking again
Someday's he remembers the day he lost a good friend
Someday's it's this , sometimes it's that
Someday's he feels like he's caught in a trap
Someday's , if all the days were lined up in a row ,
he remembers the day he thought he'd never live to be
19 years old .

Well, God decided it was time for our big guy, Baloo, to go to rainbow Bridge. In his life, of about 13 years, he was abandoned, he was rescued, he was a service dog, and he was a loving BIG part of our family. He and his big slobbery kisses will be missed. Run fast and hard big guy !!!!

Hey SFLS family. This is Daisy who has been in training to be a service dog. About 48 hours before meeting her veteran she started showing signs of being ill. Doctor has verified that she has Addison's disease. This diagnosis means she cannot be a service dog. Her designated Veteran drove from Colorado to Texas to get her and he had to go back home with out her. Our volunteer trainer's son has set up this GoFundMe, https://gofund.me/b5c81fc9 page to help us recover the funds we had to spend on Daisy. If you can help we'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Larry

Dear family and friends of SFLS ,
You may or may not know that our web site is gone (literally).
We do not understand why, but it just is.
We plan to start rebuilding it but don't know how long it will take us.
We will try to a better job of communicating with you on our page.
Hope all of you and your families are doing well.
Thanks,
Larry, Cathie, and Suzy.
