Fred is our 2nd Service Animal that we have proudly been able to sponsor through our Foundation partnership with K9’s for Warriors. !

We started raising funds for our 2nd Service Dog in February of 2022 with dedicated daycare events and fundraisers to reach our goal. We want to give a huge shout out to our Pet Parents and Dogtopia Foundation supporters who help us reach our goal of $6,000 by March 2023. We selected K9’s for Warriors as our partner based on their mission for adopting adult dogs from Animal Shelters to train as life partners for Veterans. We were driven to the organization based on 2 things: 1) Saving a shelter dog to give them a strong purpose in life and 2) Success rate for transition from shelter dog to service dog.

Here is out most recent update from K9s for Warriors: “Hey friends from K9s! My name is Fred, and I like to cuddle and take naps. I have been practicing my cues and getting exposed to all of the sounds and sights of this big world I live in. Today I went to Publix and got desensitized to the sounds of products on shelves which initially startled me but by the end I didn’t care about it. I really enjoy learning and having fun as I go with my handler. I look forward to updating you on where I go next and what I learn. Until then, Fred the Stud! ” 

Stay tuned for more of Fred’s progess in his hero journey!
