🎉 Great News! 🎉

We are thrilled to share that Cortana has officially found her furever home! 🐾💖 She was chosen with purpose by a truly wonderful family, and we couldn’t be happier for her.

More exciting news — Trisha Cunningham will continue to be a part of Cortana’s journey as her trainer, helping guide her in her important role as a service dog. 🦮✨

Cortana’s new family is ready to love, support, and absolutely spoil her! She’s going to have the amazing life she deserves, full of purpose, joy, and endless belly rubs.

Congratulations, sweet girl! 💕🐶

P.S. This wouldn't have been possible without all of you—your support, your shares, and your conversations made a real difference. Because of your efforts, all of the puppies from C**t and Athena’s elite litter have now found their perfect furever homes. 🐾💫

Thank you for spreading the word about these incredible pups!

🚓🐾We Salute the Brave — On Two Legs and Four. 🐾🚓

It's National Police Week and Dawg Phonics is proud to recognize and honor the incredible dedication, sacrifice, and courage shown by our law enforcement officers and K9 teams!

One of these heroes is the popular Sami, Florida’s first v**e detection dog, now protecting students in Citrus County Schools. From Rescued Dogs Dream, Inc in Homosassa and professionally trained by Trisha Cunningham of Dawg Phonics, Sami now detects THC and ni****ne v**e cartridges, helping create a safer environment for our kids.

Four-legged officers work tirelessly alongside their human partners to keep our schools, communities, and streets safe. From search and rescue to narcotics and v**e detection, they serve with loyalty and heart.

We also want to shine a light on the Tampa Bay Retired Police K9 Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to:

💙 Supporting retired K9s with medical care
💙 Honoring K9s lost in the line of duty
💙 Educating the public about the service and sacrifice of working dogs

To every officer and K9 team who’s served — thank you for your unwavering dedication. We honor you this week and always.
