The results are in from the contest hosted by Logomark to name their new Shelter to Soldier pup!
TUSTIN, California (January 23, 2025) Logomark, a Red Star Sponsor of Shelter to Soldier, held a naming contest at the PPAI Expo to announce the arrival of its newest rescue dog through the program! Attendees were invited to visit the booth for a chance to name the spunky 10-month-old shepherd-lab mix. The booth buzzed with excitement as nearly 300 distributors proudly displayed their Shelter to Soldier commemorative pins and submitted their suggested names.
The results are in! Leez Osterstock from Bamko playfully named the pup Bodie! Already a beloved part of Logomark's growing family of sponsored psychiatric service dogs, Bodie will be serving a post-9/11 veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury and/or Military Sexual Trauma. Bodie is part of 8 total dogs in addition to two therapy dogs that Logomark has sponsored through the Shelter to Soldier program.
Michael Bistocchi, Chief Revenue Officer of Logomark, shared, "The turnout was fantastic, and we had an unexpected treat when Hazel, one of our STS Canine Ambassador therapy dogs, made a special appearance. Many distributors lined up to pet, hug, and snuggle with her.
Logomark is committed to transforming the lives of both rescue dogs and veterans through the organization’s dedication to “Saving Lives, Two at a Time.” This 501c3 nonprofit organization rescues dogs from local shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs or emotional support animals for those who have served our country.
A portion of proceeds from Logomarks Perka, iCool, and Work collections are donated to the Shelter to Soldier initiative. For more information about Logomark’s products and their connection to Shelter to Soldier, please visit logomark.com/cares
