Our 3 most handsome CIRC K9s - Bo, Baruch and Max - were so grateful to train at Alomere Health today! They encountered some visitors that were very excited to see them, practiced riding the elevator and navigating stairs, met some persons in (simulated) distress, and all left tuckered out!

Training gives our volunteers and K9s the opportunity to practice critical skills in realistic environments so we can stay ready to respond when we’re needed!

We’re so grateful for the support from our local community and the training opportunities! 🐾🩵💙🐾
