We had a great time at the National Recreation and Park Association 2025 Annual Conference this week! 

A huge thank you to @barkpark4dogs, @ultra.site, and @playcorenews for sponsoring us and making it possible for our team to be there. Our pups loved bringing smiles, sharing joy, and helping us spread the word about our mission to save veteran lives through service dogs.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many passionate leaders in recreation and parks, and to share how service dogs can make a difference for our nations veterans.
