Elle, shown above, was our beloved diva. She was a Yorkshire Terrier. She ran the show and was loved beyond words. We lost Elle on January 10, 2024.
Gibbs and Ali, pictured below, are English Cream (aka European) Golden Retrievers. They will be trained as therapy dogs at some point so they can visit and cheer up patients in assisted living facilities, nursing homes and other health care facilities. They haven’t been in the office much since Covid-19 hit, but expect them back soon.
In March, 2024, we added Poppy Abigail to our staff (shown below). Poppy, sometimes referred to as the Poppinator, is a Micro Bernedoodle, born on January 2, 2024. She came to us by way of Arrow T Pets. Poppy can never replace Elle, but she’s quickly learning the ropes and will become a service dog as soon as she grows into the role. Our hope is that she will be a diabetes alert dog. We hope to take her with us as we visit clients in assisted living facilities and nursing homes.
