Service dogs require a lot of care!

The service dogs require vet care, good nutrition and proper exercise. Nala is enjoying the nicer weather and going for a walk!

Kiwi is posing with her first "self portrait". Her new young friend from her session yesterday made her this drawing for over her "office" bed because Kiwi made her feel safe at the courthouse.

Meet Scout!

Scout is a 10 week old labradoodle boxer mix! He loves to play with as many toys at once as he can, and although he hasn’t mastered any skills yet he loves to sit to get attention!

We can’t wait to watch this sweet boy grow and learn🥰

Can we say how much we love our @wagsformags and @IndyPendencesdo student trainer groups!!

Today PGI and these two groups organized and transported 10 dogs from our Helping Paws program to their week long furlough homes. These students are so dedicated to our mission!
