Happy from this happy boy, Braker! Braker isn’t short for heart breaker, but gosh has he perfected that “you are the most important human I know” look!

Braker is working very hard on his tasking skills so he can be the very best service pup he can be!

Happy from the silliest, uppie down girl Momma Belle! Even from a very young age, this girl loved sleeping and resting on her back “uppie down”

Today we are using the hashtag to share with you all some of newest and youngest friends: Elm Street School 2nd graders!

They have been learning about communities and how to be community helpers and as one of their projects they chose to raise funds for us! MWD therapy dogs and their handlers have been visiting ESS every Thursday. As a way to give back to their community, the 2nd graders raised an amazing $500.03 and chose to change that into kibble! 11 bags of kibble were loaded up by these hard working kiddos!

Thank you so Ms. Harvey and Mrs. Stone for their commitment to opening young learner’s eyes and hearts to being the good in their communities!
