I’d like to take a moment to highlight one of our favorite service dog teams: and her service dog, Atlas 🐾💛 Kenzie received Atlas from ASA Service Dogs four years ago, and we’ve loved watching them grow together ever since! Not only do they shine as a working team, but they also give back so much to our program 🙌
✨ Kenzie and her family volunteer with ASA fundraising and at community events.
✨ They serve as puppy raisers, giving program dogs-in-training a loving home environment.
✨ Her mom, Tammy, faithfully attends our puppy raiser classes and works side by side with Kenzie to help raise and train dogs that go on to change lives!
✨ Kenzie has also shared her knowledge publicly — giving presentations and spreading education about cerebral palsy and service dogs.
Currently, they are raising Joy, one of our program pups, and they’ve raised several dogs before who have since graduated and are now working service dogs in their forever homes! 🙌
We are so grateful to Kenzie, Atlas, and their family for everything they contribute!! If anyone is considering applying for a program service dog through ASA, or interested in becoming a puppy raiser, Kenzie is a wonderful resource. She’s happy to answer questions and share her firsthand experience.
Please join me in celebrating Kenzie & Atlas — an incredible team and an inspiring part of the ASA family! 🎉🐕💙
