Big news from our Cedar Rapids crew… meet Elvis & Merle! 🐾

These two special boys are the newest future service dogs joining the IOWA Service Dogs program and will both be training out of our Cedar Rapids location. Elvis, our chocolate lab, and Merle, our red lab, have already stolen hearts and are ready to begin their journeys toward changing lives.

We are incredibly thankful to have worked with Blackberry Hill Labradors to find these amazing pups. Their support and belief in our mission means so much to us.

We can’t wait to share updates as these boys grow, learn, and start their service dog training adventures. 💙🐶

Huge thank you to Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine for partnering with the ACVO®-SAVES™ (Service Animal Veterinary Eye Screening) program and providing free eye screenings for service dogs like our sweet girl, Charlie.

These screenings play an important role in ensuring our dogs are healthy and ready for their future careers changing lives. Charlie is getting closer and closer to her match, which means another life will soon be impacted through the work of IOWA Service Dogs.

We are incredibly grateful for partners who help make this mission possible. 🐾
