Saturday was Certification Day for GO TEAM Madison! 🐾

Whether they were renewing their certifications or working toward becoming therapy dogs for the very first time, our teams spent the day sharpening their skills in real-world settings.

A huge thank you to Madison Metro, TSA and Dane County Airport, Sit Means Sit Madison, Silver Eagle in Monona, and the Cottage Grove Fire Station for welcoming our dogs and handlers during training. Your support helps our teams practice navigating busy environments, unexpected situations, and everyday interactions so they can confidently provide comfort wherever they’re needed most.

And to the new teams who joined in the training process this year—thank you for putting in the time, effort, and heart. We know how much work goes into the journey, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way.

It truly takes a community to support therapy dogs. Thank you to everyone who helps make this work possible. ❤️🐶

🎉🐾 A Belated Happy Birthday to our beloved Gary! 🐾🎉

We may be a little late to the party, but when you’re celebrating a gentle giant like Gary, it’s never too late! 💙

At 215 pounds of kindness, slobbery kisses, and a heart as big as he is, Gary has brought comfort, smiles, and countless unforgettable moments to everyone he meets. Whether he’s brightening someone’s day at a community event, visiting residents with his calm presence, or patiently accepting all the love and attention that comes his way, Gary reminds us that sometimes the biggest impact comes on four very large paws.

We hope your special day was filled with extra treats, belly rubs, naps, and all the admiration you so richly deserve.

Here’s to another year of sharing your gentle spirit with the world. We love you, Gary! ❤️🐶🎈

Gary brought his signature sneaky kisses to the golf course today as he represented GO TEAM Therapy Dogs at the Annual Southwest Heroes Golf Outing benefiting the American Red Cross of Wisconsin.

While many people know our dogs for the comfort and smiles they bring to schools, assisted living facilities, and community organizations, they also enjoy supporting events that help make a difference across Wisconsin. Gary spent the day greeting golfers, soaking up attention, and serving as a four-legged ambassador for kindness and connection.

We’re grateful for opportunities to support organizations like the American Red Cross and the important work they do for individuals, families, and communities when they need it most.

Way to go, Gary! ❤️

Gary the gentle giant made a special stop at Rock Haven, where his calm presence, soulful eyes, and trademark sneaky kisses brought plenty of smiles to residents and staff alike.

At 215 pounds, Gary may be one of our biggest therapy dogs, but those who meet him quickly discover he’s all heart. Whether he was soaking up pets, leaning in for affection, or simply sitting quietly beside a new friend, Gary made meaningful connections throughout the visit.

Thank you to everyone at Rock Haven for the warm welcome. We’re pretty sure Gary left with as many happy memories as the people he met! ❤️🐾

Belle, Lizzy, Sully, and Pip brought a little extra sunshine to the day as they visited the amazing staff at AbbVie yesterday! 🐾

Just like a sunny day can brighten your mood, these four therapy dogs were on hand to share smiles, wagging tails, and plenty of stress-relieving cuddles. From quick pet breaks to moments of connection, they helped add a dose of positivity to the workday.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to spend time with our team.

School’s out for summer for these dogs!

Lizzy, Pip, Max, and Leia wrapped up their final visit of the school year at DeForest Middle School! From hallway smiles to calming cuddles, our team loved spending time with students and staff one last time before summer break.

The pups even got an unexpected adventure when they participated in a fire drill — proving that therapy dogs can stay cool under pressure too! 🚨🐶

Thank you, DeForest Middle School, for welcoming us throughout the year. We’re already looking forward to more tail wags, laughs, and visits next school year! 💙

Lizzy, Max, and Pip had a paws-itively fun visit at Marshall Elementary School, where they helped students learn all about therapy dogs! 🐶📚

From answering thoughtful questions to showing off their calm and gentle personalities, the pups were wonderful ambassadors for the important work therapy dogs do in schools and communities. The students were curious, engaged, and full of great questions — and our dogs soaked up every bit of the attention along the way. ❤️

We love giving students a chance to learn not only what therapy dogs do, but also how kindness, connection, and a wagging tail can make a difference in someone’s day. 🐾

As the school year comes to a close and summer begins, we’re reminded that the most meaningful part of therapy dog visits isn’t just the smiles in the moment — it’s the connections built along the way 🐾❤️

Over the course of the year, familiar faces became trusted friends. Students learned which dogs loved belly rubs, which ones leaned in for hugs, and which tails wagged the fastest when they walked through the doors. And for our dogs, those excited greetings, quiet conversations, and gentle pats became just as special.

The bond between students and therapy dogs is something truly unique — built on comfort, consistency, and unconditional love. Even as we head into summer break, we know those moments stay with all of us. ☀️🐶

That’s a wrap on another amazing school year at DeForest Harvest Intermediate! 🎉🐾

From first-day jitters to end-of-year excitement, our therapy dogs were honored to spend time with so many incredible students and staff this year. Whether they were helping with stress relief, celebrating accomplishments, or simply sharing smiles in the hallway, every visit was filled with kindness, connection, and lots of tail wags. ❤️

To all of the students and staff at Harvest — thank you for welcoming our dogs with open arms all year long. We hope your summer is full of fun, sunshine, adventure, and well-deserved relaxation! ☀️🐶

See you next school year, Harvest! 💙

One last tail wag, one last hallway hello, and one more round of smiles before summer break ☀️🐾

Our therapy dogs had the best time spending the school year with the Challengers at ALCS — celebrating victories, sharing comfort, and making memories together along the way. From belly laughs to quiet cuddles, every visit reminded us just how special this community is. ❤️

We hope your summer is filled with sunshine, adventure, relaxation, and plenty of reasons to smile. We already can’t wait to see everyone again next school year!
