Corona Muralis Shepherd's Field

About

The Cause and Its Home

Although the names are often mentioned together, Corona Muralis and Shepherd's Field represent two parts of the same vision.

The Mission

Corona Muralis

Corona Muralis is the cause. Named after the ancient Roman “Wall Crown,” one of Rome’s highest military honors — awarded to the first warrior to climb the enemy wall. It symbolized extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty. It could not be purchased or inherited. It had to be earned.

Today that spirit lives on in America’s military and government working dogs: often first into danger — buildings, explosives, tracking, borders, embassies, and airports. Corona Muralis carries their legacy forward: remembrance, education, support for veterans and handlers, and a promise that these animals are never forgotten.

The Place

Shepherd's Field

Shepherd's Field is the place — the physical home where the mission of Corona Muralis will come to life. Envisioned on a working farm in South Carolina, it is planned as a peaceful sanctuary where retired working dogs can spend their remaining years with dignity, exceptional veterinary care, and the freedom they earned through faithful service.

It will also serve as a sacred final resting place where handlers, families, veterans, law enforcement officers, and visitors can honor those who served beside America’s warriors — with memorial gardens, trails, educational experiences, and agricultural operations that help sustain the sanctuary.

Corona Muralis is the cause. Shepherd's Field is its home.

One represents the enduring mission to honor and remember. The other is the ground where that mission is lived every day.

Who We Honor

Those Who Went First

Military working dogs protect our service members. Federal working dogs protect our borders, transportation systems, federal facilities, and critical infrastructure. State and local police K9s protect our communities every day.

Corona Muralis exists to honor each of these missions equally — creating a place where service is remembered long after the final deployment, and supporting the handlers, families, veterinarians, and agencies who made that service possible.

The sanctuary is intended to complement — not replace — the outstanding work already performed by military, federal, state, and local agencies.
