Service Dog Hero 1

“Jolene has completely changed my day-to-day life in ways I didn’t fully understand until I had her. Before her, a lot of things felt heavier—simple tasks, going out in public, even just getting through a normal day. With Jolene by my side, there’s now a sense of stability and confidence. She gives me space to breathe, stay grounded, and actually be present in moments that used to feel overwhelming.

She’s more than a service dog—she’s a constant partner who helps me stay steady, both physically and mentally. Because of her, I’m able to do more, go to more places, and feel more like myself again.

I’m incredibly grateful to the Corpsman Maxton Soviak Foundation for bringing Jolene into my life. Their mission to “Live Life to the MAX!” isn’t just a saying—it’s something I get to experience every day because of her.”
