🎉 We’re Heading to SuperZoo! đŸŸ

In less than a month, Service Paws is packing our gear and heading to SuperZoo, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
What’s SuperZoo, you ask?

Only North America’s largest pet industry event, bringing together over 22,000 pet professionals and 1,100+ exhibitors across a jaw-dropping 350,000 sq ft of pet-loving innovation! đŸ¶đŸ±đŸŸ

This is more than just a trade show, it’s a goldmine of new products, fresh ideas, and industry breakthroughs, especially in the world of dogs and cats. For us, it’s an opportunity to stay at the forefront of what’s available to better serve our community’s needs, from health and nutrition to gear, training tools, and beyond.

Our passionate team: Mitch, Christi, and Aleana, all current board members of Service Paws, will be joined by Jeanna, a former board member and proud Service Paws graduate. Together, they’ll be laser-focused on four powerful goals:

✅ Discovering holistic health solutions for service dogs
✅ Exploring resources tailored to our veterans
✅ Building new partnerships and sponsorships
✅ Growing our network to amplify advocacy

Even more exciting? Three of our attendees are service dog handlers, and this event gives them and their incredible canines a chance to shine in the spotlight—demonstrating what true, well-trained service dog teams look like in action. 🐕✹

We’re honored to represent Service Paws at this world-class event, and we’re ready to make connections, gain insights, and bring back fresh tools to uplift the lives of those we serve.

💬 — we’re coming your way, and we can’t wait to meet you! 💙

We may not have evolved from apes, but there is a certain amount of adaptation ie evolution that species do need to go through to survive.

Dogs evolved to understand human gestures better than even our closest primate relatives.

Unlike chimpanzees or wolves, dogs naturally understand human pointing — even as young puppies. This ability isn’t trained; it’s likely the result of thousands of years of co-evolution with humans. Dogs have developed unique social intelligence that makes them exceptionally attuned to human communication, body language, and even emotions.

This bond is so deep that dogs can actually synchronize their heartbeats and stress levels with their owners — a biological response rarely seen across species.

Paws-On Partnership: How Owner-Assisted Training Builds Stronger Service Dog Teams

At the heart of every successful service dog team is a powerful bond built on trust, communication, and mutual respect. One of the most impactful ways to cultivate that bond is through owner-assisted training, a collaborative approach where individuals with disabilities actively participate in training their own service dogs—with guidance from professional trainers.

Here's a more polished and heartfelt rewrite of your message:

We often forget that mothers can struggle mentally too. We see them as pillars of strength, always there to carry our burdens—even long after we've left home. But motherhood is a lifelong role, one filled with a deep mix of emotions, not just joy and pride.

The journey begins with the physical and emotional trauma of bringing a life into the world, but it doesn’t end there. Mothers carry us not just in their arms, but in their hearts and minds for the rest of their lives. They feel our triumphs, our pain, our heartbreaks—as deeply as if they were their own. When we leave home, it can feel to them like losing a piece of themselves. They smile and joke about gaining their freedom, but inside, their hearts ache for the children they once held so close.

They learn to live with the silence, to sleep without listening for the door, to find peace in the stillness. And yes, they find happiness again. But there will always be a quiet corner of their hearts that longs for the days when we were safely tucked under their roof, close enough to hold.

This Mother’s Day, during Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s remember the quiet strength, emotional resilience, and mental fortitude our mothers carry—for us, always.

Healing from trauma requires care for both the body and the soul. True recovery happens when we nurture both—neglecting one can hold back the other.

"Living with mental illness doesn't make you weak—it means you're fighting battles others can't see, and still choosing to move forward every day. That is strength."

“In quiet minds, storms may brew—
but even rain can lead to bloom.
Speak your truth, let light shine through;
you’re not alone, there’s always room.”
