Dr. Shuler learned much about farming, dairying, and a love of animals from his father and a love of education from his mother. He lived and attended rural schools in that community until he left for college. He began his higher education at the University of South Carolina from 1942-1943. After his freshman year, he returned home to help his father on the farm. At age 18, he entered the U.S. Navy receiving his boot camp training at Baimbridge, Maryland. He served as Quartermaster aboard a tanker, U.S.S. Chuckawan, in the Carribean. After his 18 month hitch in the Navy, he attended the Citadel, picking up a few courses that he would need for Pre-Vet. He then moved to Gadsden, Alabama with $35.00 in his pocket and a letter of introduction to a friend of a friend. He lived and worked there until he established residence hoping to get into Auburn. After his acceptance to Vet School, he married Doris Wakefield. He graduated 5th in his class of 60 students and began a mixed practice in St. George, SC, in July 1953.

He was instrumental in founding Dorchester Academy, serving as Chairman of the Board for the first 5 years and was still an ex-officio member of the board. When the school decided to build a gymnasium, along with his practice, he undertook the job as "volunteer overseer". For all his time and devotion given to the school over the years, the gym was named in his honor.
