Introducing Scooby

Scooby is a 1 year old yellow Labrador Retriever with about one brain cell and a whole lot of enthusiasm!

Scooby came into my life as a started service dog in July of 2023, I had not planned to get a larger service dog for another couple of years but as my chronic pain got worse and the mobility aids I had stopped helping as much as they used to I realized I had to start looking for a prospect sooner than I had wanted. After looking at and meeting multiple other dogs a couple of friends sent me Scooby, and after meeting him his trainer said we would be a good fit!

He has been my best buddy ever since, we’ve had a lot of setbacks in his training but my priority for him was to let him be the puppy he didn’t get to be. He’s much sillier and happier now than when we first met and while he’s not even close to fully trained at almost 2 years old, he has much more enthusiasm for working and life in general

Introducing Atlas

Atlas is a 1 year old sable Papillon with a lot of attitude and a very big heart!

He loves having a job to do, whether that job is being pigeon patrol or being my service dog. Atlas has struggled with excitement reactivity for about 8 months now and while he has made huge progress and can effectively ignore dogs while on duty, he will never fully return to working. During the past 8 months he was fully pulled from working so we could solely focus on his reactivity, he just recently started doing the odd outing again and has been great! If issues pop back up he will be pulled again, likely for good

Atlas absolutely adores people, if he was allowed to he’d make friends with absolutely everyone he saw. He’s the reason a lot of people I know have changed their opinions on small dogs. He is such a genuinely happy and bubbly dog, you can’t help but smile at his wiggles and silly noises
