WCC Partner Spotlight: Commvault

About a year ago, Warrior Canine Connection (WCC) and Commvault came together around a shared belief: real resilience is built through connection, care and community. As the partnership enters its second year, that belief continues to show up in powerful and often joyful ways for Veterans, employees and some service dogs in training.

At the heart of WCC’s work is its Mission Based Trauma Recovery (MBTR) training program, which enlists Veterans and Service Members to help train future service dogs. Each dog will eventually support a Veteran, but the impact begins long before placement. Veterans participating in MBTR can also benefit from skills development in communication, confidence building, accountability, emotional regulation and patience to promote an act of service while receiving a therapeutic benefit.

“We’re deeply grateful for Commvault’s partnership and the way they’ve woven Warrior Canine Connection into their culture,” said Rick Yount, founder and executive director, WCC. “Their support allows us to introduce more people to Mission Based Trauma Recovery and to the life-changing work Veterans and service dogs do together.”

Commvault’s support has helped expand awareness of MBTR and deepen engagement with WCC’s mission. What makes the partnership special isn’t just financial backing — it’s how fully Commvault has welcomed WCC into its culture. From employee health fairs and company meetings to major moments like its sales kickoff event, Commvault team members have had the chance to meet service dogs in training, see them in action and experience the power of the human-canine bond firsthand. These encounters often spark meaningful conversations about mental health, resilience and service.

“For Commvault, aligning with WCC is a natural extension of our commitment to embracing the human side of work, making an impact and supporting communities where employees live and serve,” says Martha Delehanty, chief people officer, Commvault.

The partnership also reflects Commvault’s values and the mission of its VALOR Employee Resource Group, which focuses on supporting Veterans and military families.

As the partnership continues, WCC and Commvault remain aligned around a simple but powerful truth: healing often begins with connection — and sometimes, it comes on four paws.
