SOUL Veterans Animal Therapy Troops

The “SOUL Veterans Animal Therapy Troops" is an impactful program for veterans, active military members and their families held on the last Sunday of every month. Through our SOUL to SOUL visits (Sharing of Unconditional Love) with our miniature therapy horses, therapy dogs, therapy cat, miniature donkeys, mini pigs and big horses, we allow veterans, with their families, to enjoy the power of the human-animal bond and the camaraderie of one another.

 

On-site visits at SOUL Harbour Ranch will be held on the last Sunday in May (our BBQ), July, and September from 10:30am-12pm. The last Sunday of other months we will be visiting veterans in our community. ​

 

We will be hosting a Veteran's BBQ at SOUL Harbour Ranch on Sunday May 31, 2026, from 12-2pm. Veterans/Active Military & their families are welcome to join us for visits with our therapy animals and a cookout, with great camaraderie!

We love partnering with the Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview with their "Play Attention" program. In November, our therapy animal teams visit at The Community Meal for a Veterans Meal. Watch our social media for more info!​​​​​​

We send a heartfelt thank you to United States Air Force pilot Lt. Colonel Gina Stramaglio (also one of our SOUL Volunteers!) who has been instrumental in bringing greater awareness of our SOUL Veterans program to veterans and active military throughout the Chicagoland area. She is well-deserving of her Colonel promotion in June 2026!
