🚨🐾 Big day in the mountains of North Carolina!

We were proud to deliver Therapy Dog Rookie to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department as part of a powerful collaboration with the nonprofit Stand Tall. It’s been an honor to provide Rookie’s training for this incredible community project.

Sheriff Ellenburg will be Rookie’s handler, and together they’ll be visiting community events, offering victim debriefing support, spending time in the jail, and brightening the days of the department staff.

A huge thank you to Silver Creek Goldendoodles for generously donating Rookie to the program — your gift will have a lasting impact.

We can’t wait to see all the good Rookie will do in his new role! 🐶💙
