Who do we help?
First Responders
Medical Staff & People fighting illness
Veterans/Military Families

Veterans/Military Families
Our Animal-Assisted therapy teams are visiting with Veterans and military families in person, utilizing masks and safe distancing while our Newfies spread their love, close up and personal. There's nothing quite like seeing someone who served this country, melting in the presence of a massive Newfie.
