K9s For Warriors is a wonderful Service Dog organization for Veterans based in Florida. We’re so sad to hear of the passing of their amazing founder Shari Duval. We send our deepest condolences out to Shari’s family. She has touched the hearts and lives of so many Veterans and families. ❤️
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of K9s For Warriors founder Shari Duval. Shari’s significance to our veterans, whom she called her “kids,” cannot be overstated. To our Warriors, she was “Mom,” a place you could always go for help, a hug, and some direct advice. For the K9s For Warriors team, Shari was and is our inspiration. Through sheer grit and love of country and caring for her own son with Post-Traumatic Stress, she created K9s For Warriors from scratch and, ultimately, saved the lives of thousands of rescue dogs and American heroes.
We send our condolences and love to Shari’s family. We can only thank them for sharing “Mom” with us over the years and being the vital support for her as she went about changing the world for the better. We can say with conviction, Shari’s legacy will live on not only through K9s For Warriors, but through the countless lives and families she helped save.
Every warrior in America has a new guardian angel on their shoulder.
