This Christmas, we're reminded that the greatest gifts aren't wrapped in paper—they're wrapped in purpose. 🎁
At JLAD, we're honored to give independence, confidence, and companionship through our service dogs. But none of this would be possible without YOU—our incredible community who gives your support, encouragement, and belief in our mission.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, generosity, and the joy that comes from making a difference.
Merry Christmas from all of us at JLAD! 🐾💙

To our amazing community: THANK YOU ~🐾
Giving Tuesday, December 2nd, is about more than donations—it's about coming together for a cause that matters.
Our JLAD service dogs are counting on us to raise $13,000 for their dog food. These aren't just any dogs—they're future lifelines for people who need them most.
Your generosity = Their future
Whether you donate $5 or $500, share this post, or simply spread the word—YOU are making their mission possible.
Let's finish strong together!
