Hugo
Hugo was a gift from a daughter to a mother – a daughter who has a pack of her own, including a FEMA search & rescue Cane Corso. The daughter had been screening several puppies from breeders and shelters as candidates to become her mother’s service dog to no avail until a neighbor said their pet akitas were having puppies. The daughter knew these dogs were very gentle, calm, and intelligent, and that that her mother has always loved the breed and had commented that an akita sized dog is what she would need if she were to get a service dog. The puppies arrived in March 2023 and she screened them all at the appropriate time. One passed: Hugo. He got a great head start as the daughter kept him from 8-10 weeks old to crate train, socialize him with her pack of 5 dogs and her small 4 children, and body handling. Hugo arrived in in his new home with everything he needed too. He was a surprise but soon fit right in with his new family. His favorite foods are apples, carrots, and steak. His favorite activity is relaxing on the air conditioning floor vent and playing fetch with his squeaky ball. Primary trainer: April Edwards.

Violet
Violet is a rat terrier and Jack Russell mix breed rescue dog who was born in 2021. She had one litter of puppies and lived in a hoarding situation until the family decided they no longer wanted her. A New York rescue saved her from euthanasia. The foster mom saw so many wonderful qualities in Violet. She was excellent with the foster family’s blind dog, cuddled up to everyone who entered the house, and had the sweetest disposition. The foster decided to welcome her into their family the same year and feel so lucky to have her. Violet has since completed obedience training and passed the Canine Good Citizen test. She works in schools and for organizations as part of a Dog Bite Prevention Program. Learning service dog work to assist a family member has always been a goal, but put on the back burner. The sudden loss of her blind canine sister has thrown Violet into a depression, so service dog training quickly became a priority. Violet will enjoy the training and the work will make her happy.
