When life gets ruff, hit the floor and hug a dog. 🐶💕

C.A.T. therapy dog Atlas delivered some much-needed stress relief during our visit at Florida Power & Light in Plantation today with the American Heart Association for National Wear Red Day. Sometimes, the best way to reset is to stop, drop, and snuggle a dog—and judging by this cuddle session, it worked like a charm. 🥰

Therapy dogs have a way of knowing exactly when you need a little extra love, and today, it was just what this person needed. 💜

🌟🐾 Today is Annual Doggie Date Night Day! 🐾🌟

Celebrating Doggie Date Night is all about quality time and creating lasting memories with your furry companion! And our therapy dogs definitely deserve a little extra love and attention. 🐕💕

Here are some fun and simple ways to celebrate:

🐾 Take a Walk: Enjoy a stroll through your favorite park or neighborhood. Let your dog sniff around and explore new sights and smells!

🐾 DIY Doggie Spa Day: Treat your pup to a relaxing bath, a good brushing, and maybe even a spiffy new collar or bandana!

🐾 Play Their Favorite Game: Whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek, spend some quality time doing what they love most!

🐾 Doggie Treats & Snacks: Spoil your pup with a puppuccino or some special, healthy treats - you can even try making your own homemade dog biscuits!

🐾 Cozy Cuddle Time: Curl up together for some bonding time, whether it's watching a movie, reading a book, or just relaxing on the couch.

🌈 In Loving Memory of Lexie 🐾

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our sweet fur-iend, Lexie. For many years, this precious pup spread joy, comfort, and healing to children, veterans, hospital patients, trauma victims and so many others who needed a paw to hold.

Lexie’s work was truly something special. She carried on the legacy of her big sister, Coral, and made everyone proud. Lexie brought smiles and love to everyone she met.

From tail wags to gentle paws, Lexie’s spirit will live on in the countless lives she touched. Rest easy, sweet girl — you’ve left a paw-print on all of our hearts. 💖🐾

💜 "I feel so better now." 💜 (turn volume up)

Cue the happy tears. 🐾 There’s just something about a therapy dog that makes everything instantly better. A few pets, a wagging tail, and suddenly, the world feels a little softer. ☮️

Sometimes, comfort doesn’t need words… but when it does, it sounds just like this. Happy . 🤗

🐾🌎 Happy ! Did you know that today is Change a Pet's Life Day?! This special day was created to raise awareness for pets in need and encourage adoption. Sadly, there are millions of adorable, lovable pets waiting for their forever homes in shelters. Many of them face lonely days in cold kennels or even the heartbreaking possibility of being put down. 💔

But YOU can help change that by adopting or fostering a pet! 🏡 Adopt, don’t shop, and give a pet the chance to live the life they deserve. Your new best friend might just be waiting for you! 💕 And if that's not something you can commit to, it's OKAY, there are other ways to help like:

🐕 Volunteer at a shelter
🍖 Donate food, blankets, or toys
📣 Spread the word about adoptable pets on social media
💵 Support rescue organizations with a donation

And here’s a fact: rescued dogs can sometimes make incredible therapy dogs! 🐾💖 Several of our very own therapy dogs started their journey as rescues, and now they bring comfort, smiles, and hope to people in need!

Every small act of kindness counts. Let’s make today a turning point for pets everywhere! 🏡💕
