It’s official - NOAH HAS GRADUATED! 😍😍😍👏👏👏
This happy-go-lucky boy has worked incredibly hard over the past two years and is now making a life-changing difference for a Kiwi family who truly need him.
Noah is working as a tethering dog, helping keep his young client safe in public through a special belt that connects them. If Noah feels resistance on his jacket, he stays steady - preventing his client from running off or into danger, and giving his family the confidence to get out and about in their community without worry.
With his public access rights, Noah can accompany his family anywhere they go, offering support wherever it’s needed. With Noah by their side, the family can enjoy outings with peace of mind, and their world has become so much brighter 💛
But Noah’s support goes far beyond safety. He’s also trained to help his client regulate emotions, making everyday life smoother. When asked, he can provide deep pressure (a calming weight) or offer gentle nudges if his client becomes upset — helping bring their focus back to him, their steady and calming best friend.
A huge thank you goes to our wonderful donors and supporters who made this possible. Your generosity has changed another family’s life for years to come and will have a lasting impact on their quality of life.
And of course, a massive shoutout to Noah’s incredible puppy raisers, boarders, trainer Nadia, and instructor Vesna, who all played a part in this incredible achievement.
It truly takes a village to raise an Assistance Dog - and moments like this remind us why we do what we do 💙🐕✨
