This is what community partnership looks like. 💙🐾
We are so grateful for our collaboration with WSWHE BOCES and the opportunity for our dogs to spend time with students in their Small Animal Science program.

Today, Ophelia, Benny, and Lulu got some hands-on attention from the students—handling, grooming, bathing, and plenty of love along the way. 🛁🐶

For the students, it’s an opportunity to gain real-world experience working with dogs of different breeds, personalities, and training levels.

For our dogs, it’s incredibly valuable exposure. They’re learning to be comfortable being handled and cared for by people outside of their normal circle, adapting to new environments, and building the confidence and flexibility they’ll need in their future careers.

Partnerships like this are such a win on both sides: students get to learn, and our future service and facility dogs get to grow.

A huge thank you to the students and staff at WSWHE BOCES for welcoming our crew and becoming another important part of their journey. 💙🐾
