Happy Thanksgiving.
The Foodies had a relaxing day and snacked on dry kibble to see how they would do. I think they are hooked.

**Update** the response to this post has been overwhelming. Thank you for your patience while we sort through all the responses to find those that will fit the best. ****

Can you help us out? Do you own, manage, or know of any properties in Winnebago County that could be available for law enforcement K-9 training, either for one time use or in an ongoing capacity? We are looking for a variety of sites, such as businesses, vacant buildings, warehouses or large indoor spaces, or even construction sites. All activity is highly controlled under strict law enforcement supervison, and we can work around any schedules or limitations to access you may have.

We are often asked by the community how they can support us, and this is one of those ways! If you think you can help us out, please consider reaching out to us at afenrich@winnebagocountywi.gov or sending us a DM with your contact info.

Lots of new introductions for the Foodies over past couple days.
First puppy mush was a big hit (and a bigger mess). 😆
Intro to water bowl. 💧
Intro to big potty boxes. 💩
Moved from guest room to a larger space in the dining room where they will get more exposure to day-to-day family activities. Of course that includes lots of cuddles. 🏠

Happy 3rd Birthday to the 'Apple of my Eye Litter' (Rose x Polar Bear). Super proud of the impact Gunther and Gema are making within the community. 🥰

Shout out to my girl Grace; who is truly an all-purpose labrador.
From work as a service dog; to retrieving, scenting, couch potato, therapy, dock diving, and anything in between, just an all-around good girl. Always up for anything asked of her.

On Monday afternoon we were evaluated and recertified as a service team. The next morning Grace helped out a friend of ours and tracked a deer. A cold, 16-hour track that we did not even know where it started from. Grace followed the fence line and after about 10 minutes found the blood trail, 15 minutes later she found the buck.

** If you have one of Graces pups or grand-pups, drop some pictures below.

To clarify, there is no mandatory federal re/certification or registration for service dogs required by ADA. Some service dog organizations, like Patriot K9s of Wisconsin, do however, require Veterans whom went through their training program to recertify annually. This is done to verify that both the Veteran & dog are maintaining proficiency.

After breakfast the pups each got a collar. They are not fans, and you will see them scratching at them for a day or two.
The Foodies also got to meet Dalton, the talking dragon. 🐲
