🐾❄️ We’re celebrating a BIG milestone at Rocky & Rosie’s Dog Kingdom! ❄️🐾

We just completed our very first Winter Workshop hosted by our after-school program, Canine Youth Leaders — and it was an incredible success!

This special event was made possible through funding from the Oak Park Community Foundation and we were honored to partner with the amazing VIP Service Dog Foundation , who led an inspiring presentation about service dogs and careers in the dog industry. 🐕‍🦺✨

Middle and high school students had the opportunity to:
Learn about service dogs and future career pathways
Participate in hands-on crafts
Enjoy a fun (and heart-melting!) puppy play session

At Rocky & Rosie’s Dog Kingdom, we’re passionate about empowering youth, promoting mental wellness, and building the next generation of compassionate dog leaders. This workshop was a beautiful step forward in that mission.

Thank you to everyone who made this day possible!
