For many veterans, stepping back into public spaces can take courage. Veteran Outings help make that step feel possible.

These outings give veterans and their service dogs the chance to practice in real-world environments, build trust, work through distractions, and grow more confident together beyond the training room.

Every outing matters. It helps prepare each team for everyday moments like walking into a busy place, navigating crowds, or simply feeling more comfortable out in the community.

In honor of Public Service Day, we are grateful to Austin Subaru for sponsoring our Veteran Outings and helping make these important experiences possible for the veterans we serve.

With the 4th of July around the corner, we had to share this sweet visit from Tessa. ❤️🐾

There is something really special about the way a therapy dog can walk into a hospital room and change the feeling in the room almost instantly.

For someone going through a hard day, a visit like this can mean more than people realize. It can be a quiet moment of comfort, a little distraction from stress, or simply a reason to smile.

Tessa may have shown up in red, white, and blue, but what she really brought was love, calm, and the kind of support that does not need many words.

That is what makes so special. They remind people that they are not alone, even in some of the hardest moments.

Have you ever had a dog show up for you at exactly the right time? We’d love to hear about it.

✨ Feature Friday: Look What a Year Can Do! ✨
Last June, Missy was a petite puppy with a big future ahead of her. 🐾 Born March 24, 2025, she was one of nine little bundles just beginning her journey.
Fast forward to today—Missy is confidently stepping into her role as a , thanks to the dedication of her volunteer puppy raiser, veteran Cameron. 🇺🇸💛
From learning her first commands to navigating busy environments, every experience is shaping her into a life-changing partner for a fellow veteran.
During recent public access outings at and , Missy practiced her skills with real-world distractions—and she did beautifully! Calm, focused, and ready to work, this girl is proof of the incredible transformation that happens with time, training, and heart.
🐶 From playful puppy to purposeful partner—what a difference a year makes.

At Graduation, Boomer did what therapy dogs do best. He helped turn a busy, exciting, emotional night into a moment of connection.

Between the photos, laughter, hugs, and celebration, Boomer gave students a chance to pause, smile, and simply enjoy the moment.

That is the impact of a therapy dog. It may look like a few minutes of petting, a quick picture, or a happy face in the hallway. But for the person on the receiving end, it can feel like comfort, calm, and joy showing up right when it is needed.

We’re so grateful Boomer could be part of such a special night with the Westwood High School graduates. Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We’re cheering you on as you take your next step forward. 🐾

🐾 We’re wrapping up Day #5 with full hearts and four very content puppies 💛
On Monday evening, June 8, Faith welcomed four healthy puppies into the world—three girls and one boy—and this little family is doing beautifully. Faith is proving to be a calm, attentive mama, and her pups are thriving!
As these tiny future service dogs begin their journey, we’re already laying the groundwork for the important work ahead. During these first weeks, puppies experience the world through touch and scent—and every positive interaction helps shape their future. 💫
We’ve started introducing different textures into their whelping space to gently build those early sensory experiences. These small steps help create a “memory bank” of positive associations—an important foundation for confident, adaptable working dogs.
A very special thank you to our friends at for their partnership in this breeding—especially dad Steven! 🐾 The Patriot Paws team has been wonderful to work with every step of the way.
Stay tuned as we head into Week 2... there is so much growing (and wiggling!) ahead 💕🐶
