"Jojo has been a spectacular tool I didn't even know I needed. It is amazing how he can sense that I am getting anxious ... I talk to him all the time, so he helps me with my awareness and surroundings."
-Veteran Dave with his service dog, Jojo

There are no proper words to thank first responders for their lifesaving work battling the devastating LA fires, including our Bay Area teams (Gilroy Fire, @SFFDPIO, @calfireSCU ) who've been dispatched to help. Please be safe. Our hearts are with everyone impacted.🙏 #lafires

@NFL @gkittle46 @49ers Amazing! He is an incredibly athlete and human being!

Service dogs are medical lifelines to our clients, while therapy dogs like Riggins, with his handler Rosanne, support the mental well-being of our communities. Your donations help support both. We’re so close to meeting our $12K match to double the impact! https://t.co/AZXvHdl2pV
