New adventures!

And they are off! The Job Litter (Michael x Nora) went home to their foster home trainers on Saturday to begin training. They will be trained to become a service dog for a person with a physical disability, a veteran or first responder with PTSD, or a facility dog that works with families and children that have experienced trauma. A huge THANK YOU to Diane and Jamie for the love and care the puppies were given in the first eight weeks. ❤
Pictured are Diane, Nora and Jamie seated. Standing are the new foster home trainer families and their puppies. Best of luck to all on the training journey.

Gentle crate introduction. It’s a big transition to go from being a litter mate to being the only puppy in a household. Being familiar with a crate can help with the transition:)
