Welcome, L’il Bear

January 2, 2008 By Administrator

Less than two weeks after Shadow and I lost our senior cat, Bear, I decided we’d mourned long enough. The house was a bit gloomy. Shadow moped. There’s an animal rescue shelter not a mile from where we live, so late on a Saturday afternoon I hopped in the car and headed for the shelter.

Well done, good and faithful servant

December 11, 2007 By Administrator

Two weeks after my return from Hawaii, I woke up to discover that my Senior Cat, Bear, was dead. Everyone who owns a pet knows that the pet’s life is limited, but of course we don’t know how limited. And are we ever reallyprepared?

The puppy raiser also gets to take their dog in training everywhere, including to their place of employment! After placement, the volunteer is required to participate in weekly field trips out in public alongside Canine Co-Pilots trainers. The dogs come back to us prior to their placement with a person with a disability.
