Jane, Missouri – October 2025 – This past weekend, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) had the incredible honor of hosting staff from the Veterans United Foundation (VUF) at Heroes Ranch for an unforgettable Sheep Dog Outdoor Adventure. 💪

As one of SDIA’s most impactful partners, Veterans United Foundation has played a vital role in helping Veterans and First Responders nationwide get off the couch and rediscover purpose through service, community, and Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). This weekend gave the VUF team a hands-on experience with the very programs their generosity makes possible, and it was nothing short of epic.

From high-energy activities that pushed comfort zones to moments of reflection around the campfire, the weekend captured everything SDIA stands for: connection, camaraderie, and growth. Each adventure at Heroes Ranch reinforces the belief that healing happens through action and that the bonds formed between Sheep Dogs (our nation’s protectors) can last a lifetime.

“Veterans United Foundation’s commitment to those who serve continues to make a real, measurable impact,” said SgtMaj Lance Nutt, USMC (Ret.), SDIA Founder & CEO. “Their support helps us reach more Veterans and First Responders every year, guiding them toward strength, healing, and Post-Traumatic Growth.”

The partnership between SDIA and Veterans United Foundation exemplifies the power of collaboration, showing what can happen when communities come together to support those who dedicate their lives to serving others.
