Yesterday, Rosie spread lots of smiles and comfort at the Children’s Advocacy Event at University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School 🐾💙

We are grateful to be part of a space dedicated to supporting and advocating for children, while also sharing the healing connection that facility dogs can bring.

Big thank you to the St. Joseph's University chapters of Sig Ep and Alpha Phi for hosting a Pickleball tournament to raise money for our team of pups! Luna and Libby stopped by during the event to say hi and thank them for the support.

Want to start off the summer with a new puppy?? We’re welcoming TWO new lab puppies to the team the week of 5/25! Each of our dogs live with a foster family nights and weekends and we are looking for two primary foster families to host these sweet angels. Those who do it, love it!

“Holly brought an immense amount of love to our home and taught our children lessons of community, selflessness, and giving back. Being part of Team Holly and a member of the P&A community is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”
~ Seth Freed, Holly’s former primary foster

Thank you to our friends at Manoa Elementary School for taking part in our Coins for Canines program and showing how small change can make big change! The students there raised $396.91 for our pups in training by collecting change from their community. Rosie then paid them a visit to say thank you!
