Our very own Penelope was in the “Best Pooch in the Noosk” yesterday in Winooski, and won the Worst Drool award (it was changed from Worst Breath, as all of the dogs had great dog breath). Way to rock that tutu (and drool) Penelope! 😂

Local leaders judged dogs Sunday across categories including best costume, best trick and cutest

Maple, and her handler Valerie, certainly brightened the day of countless residents and staff at Harbor Village Senior Communities! Thank you Valerie and Maple!

Thank you to our friends at Spectrum Youth and Family Services for having Cooper over for a visit!

So much joy with staff members Julia, Faith, and Cooper! Cooper is from Therapy Dogs of Vermont and has been visiting youth (and staff 😊) at our Burlington Basic Needs programs. You can say they’ve been enjoying all the love!

This is the weather that Penelope enjoys the most, whether she is working, or relaxing at home, as she is here. What does your pup think of all of this snow?
