it's a question we're asked occasionally, so we figured it's worthwhile answering in #03 of our FAQs (link to article in comments). 🦮

we’re kicking-off the New Year in style! please welcome a brand new section to our Substack newsletter called, FAQs.

in this space we’ll answer our most frequently asked questions. there is no particular order for this — it’s free-flowing. at some point, we’ll add it to our website, but for now it lives here. published on the third Friday of each month.

PS: ‘sections’ have their own unique functionality on Substack, so if you would like to subscribe to the FAQs section only (vs. all of our newsletters), you should be able to select this option once you log into your Substack account.

to all of our military Veterans— we are immensely grateful for your service and commitment.

being able to serve you, in our small and humble way with a Psychiatric Service Dog and the ongoing support throughout your lifetime together, is our way of honoring your strength and dedication.

you remind us what true support, courage, and resilience look like. 🤍

today, after what seems like months, our first-ever Impact Report is ready to share with you!

it covers a bit of ground — 5 years to be exact. it takes you through the highlights, celebrates our milestones and shares some of the challenges we’ve faced since our launch in 2020.

it may not be as conventional or polished as seasoned nonprofits (we’re complete newbies at this), but we gave it our best shot and i think you’ll enjoy it.

plus, as a supporter of our grassroots nonprofit, we owe it to you.

you deserve to see how your donations, in-kind contributions, and cheerleading have been utilized and the very real impact you are having on the lives of people in our Napa Valley community and beyond.

thank you for supporting us — and the people we serve.

it's $10 Tuesday! today, we're featuring PSD Canelo. this photo was taken last summer when he was in training (technically, he was in cool down mode on a hot summer day). thanks to support from donors like you he is now a fully trained Psychiatric Service Dog for a military veteran.

in part ii of "meet Dave + Tilly", Dave kindly and enthusiastically agreed to an interview. he’s sharing part of his journey with all of us — you, me, and anyone else who happens to stumble upon our newsletter (or in this instance our FB post). it’s a mark of courage, openness, and an opportunity to teach people about how service dogs help folks with mental health illnesses.

due to the personal nature of our interview and the fact that things sometimes get quite weird on social media, we are keeping it entirely on our Substack. so go ahead and read it over there: https://stellina.substack.com/p/meet-dave-tilly-part-ii

🖤

i found it moving and i think you will too. if, after reading this, you’re inclined to make a donation to STELLINA so that we can bring another service dog together with an individual diagnosed with a mental health illness, we would be most grateful.

meet Dave + Tilly. you've probably seen this duo around town in any number of places and spaces.

for many reasons, Dave and Tilly hold a special place in our hearts. they are, after all, our very first psychiatric service dog team. and this is the beginning of their story.

almost two years ago to the day, during the late summer of 2023, Dave met what we all hoped would become his perfect match for a psychiatric service dog: Tilly.

at the time, Tilly was a promising youngster in training — learning all sorts of things about the big, wide, world and the tasks she was being intrdouced to.

Dave was eager to be part of the process and understood that there was no guarantee they would be a smart match. only time would tell.

he showed up for every lesson in Napa to observe, ask questions, and particpate in short training sessions with Tilly while she still lived with her trainer.

his dedication and commitment was clear.it didn't take long to figure out that Dave and Tilly were indeed a perfect match for each other.

so, on January 3, 2024 Tilly went home to live with Dave and begin their journey together as a Service Dog Team.
