Warrior PATHH Perseveres Through Arkansas Snowfall at Heroes Ranch
Despite heavy snowfall across Arkansas in late January 2026, Warrior PATHH continued with purpose at SDIA’s Heroes Ranch. Dedicated staff and guides ensured a safe, meaningful environment for reflection and growth, proving that healing does not pause for weather. We proudly congratulate the women of Warrior PATHH Class 072, who completed five days of intensive Posttraumatic Growth training and now begin their 90-day journey to apply what they’ve learned and #StruggleWell.

Sheep Dog of the Year Award: Honoring Extraordinary Service
Each year, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) proudly recognizes individuals who exemplify the very best of service, sacrifice, and leadership through the Sheep Dog of the Year Award. This prestigious honor celebrates military members, veterans, and first responders who have gone above and beyond in service to their communities and their country.
The Sheep Dog of the Year Award is more than recognition for a single moment of heroism. While extraordinary incidents are considered, special emphasis is placed on a sustained record of character, commitment, and impact throughout a career.

The Sheep Dog of the Year Award honors those who embody SDIA’s core mission to Engage, Assist, and Empower our nation’s heroes and inspire others to do the same.
