Meet Akiro 👋 He is working on the cues “jump up” and “off”! In this instance, the cues are used together but can also be used individually. We are so proud of Akiro and his amazing progress 💙

Thank you to Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative for having us at KidFest! Humprhey had an amazing time meeting so many kids while demonstrating cues! Amy and Babette joined in on the fun. This was our third time being a part of this wonderful event and we always have an amazing time!

Today, we're celebrating Sue and her 25-year anniversary with Helping Paws.

Over the past quarter century, Sue has worn many hats, taken on new challenges, and helped shape Helping Paws into the organization it is today. From her earliest days with the organization to her current role as Director of Training and Client Services, her dedication and passion have left a lasting mark on our mission.

Few people can say they've helped write the story of an organization for 25 years. Sue is one of them.

Please join us in congratulating Sue on this remarkable milestone and celebrating the impact she has made throughout her Helping Paws career.
