Dennie Moore & Pepper Breed: Black Lab Team Member since: 2009 Pepper has been our sweetest family pet ever and is immensely loved by his human brother and sister, Kyle and Karlie. He missed them terribly when they went to college and sleeps in their rooms with them whenever one or the other is home. Getting to those rooms upstairs is difficult, because he had his left front leg amputated in 2008, due to a bone cancer tumor. When they are home he has no problem hopping up those stairs to sleep close by….it makes us all smile!
A year after the amputation and healing process we decided that he needed to help others and so we went through the Pet Partners training and certification.

Jeanne Nedrelow & Kosak Breed: Italian Greyhound Team member since: 2009 “I was a gift to my master Jens, but like many dogs whose masters go off to college, I am enjoying my time with my mom going to the hospital and Jack’s Place. Many patients think my coat feels like silk!” |

Annie Whalen & Bentley Breed: Standard Poodle Team member since: 2009 When I pick Bentley up at the groomer’s (once a month), he is sooooo very excited and happy to greet me. He must tell me all about his day and does so very excitedly and joyfully! This is so much fun the groomer stops what he is doing and must watch. Bentley makes a mad dash to my side, entire body wagging and wriggling with happiness. He then lift his head up and howls with pure joy, love and enthusiasm. Not just one howl either but many different tones and lengths of ‘conversation’. |
