Sharon Callan found out that she had stage 3 colon cancer and a mere 30% chance of surviving. After discovering her condition, she prayed to God that she would live longer so she could help animals. According to Sharon, he has always been inspired by the bond shared between veterans and dogs.

She co-founded a non-profit organization called Shelter Dogs for Veterans which helps injured veterans recover through service dogs. What Sharon does is that she goes to local shelters and assesses the dogs to identify those that have the potential to become service dogs. She would then train the dogs and match them with veterans.

Sharon believes that her condition helped her become more empathetic to veterans. It also makes her a better dog trainer.
