Today, the dogs of RTK pause to honor and remember the brave men, women, and K9s who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸🐾

This Memorial Day, we are grateful for the heroes who served with courage, loyalty, and selflessness — both two-legged and four-legged. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

POV: you have the most needy puppy ever!

Our Puppy Head Start students, Kodah and Levi, were all about the splashes, puppy playtime and of course the treats while building confidence and having fun. Safe to say the new splash pad was a huge hit!

LB is officially 8 weeks old and now has a brand new name—welcome, Kodah! 🐾

He’s been hard at work learning all the important puppy basics, including potty training, crate training, responding to his name, and even starting to master “sit.” He’s picking things up quickly and showing just how smart he is already.

Of course, he’s still very much a puppy—full of energy, personality, and always ready to play. Kodah brings so much fun everywhere he goes, and we can’t wait to keep watching him grow and learn!

7 weeks with LB!

I can’t believe it’s already been 7 weeks with this little guy. Time is flying, and he’s growing and learning more every single day.

This week was a big one for him—full of new experiences and a lot of firsts. He officially met our cow neighbors (and was very curious about them), went on his first golf cart rides, and has been spending so much more time outside soaking everything in.

It’s been so fun watching his personality come out more and more each day. Every week with him just keeps getting better!
