Happy 7th birthday to Scone! 🐾 Here’s hoping for a pup cup, multiple naps, and a jeep ride for your bday!

Just a quick reminder! 🐾

Public Safety Announcement from your favorite comfort dog:

I may love going on adventures, but there's one place I should never be left... inside a parked car in the summer heat. Even if the windows are cracked or you're "just running in for a minute," temperatures inside a vehicle can climb dangerously fast. What feels warm outside can become life-threatening inside a car in just minutes.

When the temperatures rise, give your pets the coolest place to be—home. They'll thank you with plenty of tail wags later!

Nominate someone special to receive a lovely gift from Millie Sterling PD Comfort Dog! 🐾🌸

🌸🐾 Introducing Paws & Petals! 🐾🌸

We're excited to partner with Lundstrom Florist to spread a little extra kindness in our community with a brand-new weekly giveaway!

Each week, I will select a deserving individual to receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers generously provided by Lundstrom Florist and I will personally deliver the flowers right to their workplace on Friday!

Whether it's someone who goes above and beyond, brightens your day, or simply deserves a little recognition, we want to help celebrate them.

Here are the conditions for the giveaway: Please nominate someone who you think deserves a special surprise bouquet in the comments below on this post! The person must work in the city of Sterling and work on Fridays between the hours of 10 AM - 3 PM so we can get the flowers ready and deliver them during our work day. (*We know that there are so many amazing people in our community who work outside of these hours, but unfortunately we do need to be able to deliver during Millie's work schedule*). Please comment their name, where they work, and tell us about the amazing work that they do. We want to hear about how GREAT our Sterling Community is! 😁💐

The SPS Therapy dogs love when we gather for training. They also had some time to play fetch. Thanks to Millie Sterling PD Comfort Dog for joining us. 🐾💙💛
