For those who have asked about what will happen to Havoc. I am very grateful to be able to report he will continue his mission with another veteran. Chad would be happy to know I feel. I miss Chad so much, but I know he is in a better place. I am honored to help the family in this way and honor Chad’s memory in this way.

It has been a true privilege and honor to train for Chad and his Service Dog in Training, “Havoc.” Chad’s unwavering commitment and boundless excitement for Havoc’s future was contagious and brought joy to everyone around him. His smile spoke volumes about his pride in this journey, and his dreams for Havoc’s role in service were inspiring. I’ll never forget the light in Chad’s eyes whenever he encountered the Elk’s Service Dog in Training, “Charity.” His face would soften, and he’d make a special point to go over and give her his love, always bringing a gentle warmth to the room.

In an act of selfless love, Chad’s family has donated Havoc to LifeLine Service Dogs, ensuring that his legacy lives on in the work that Havoc was born to do. With heavy hearts, we pick up the leash and continue training Havoc, carrying forward Chad’s vision for a future of service and support. Havoc will now be trained to serve another veteran, fulfilling the very purpose that Chad so deeply believed in.

We are profoundly grateful to have had the opportunity to train for Chad. His kindness, dedication, and spirit will always remain with us, and through Havoc, his legacy will continue to touch lives in ways that words cannot capture. We will carry on with Chad’s vision, honoring his memory with each step Havoc takes.

I’d like to Thank Erin Anderle Collegiate Program Director for LifeLine Service Dogs and CEO of Happy Tails Pet Services, for her huge role for the Phase 1 training for Havoc. She personally boarded Havoc when Chad was admitted to the hospital while we readied his room and coordinated the families surrender and donation of Havoc to LifeLine. Thank you Erin ❤

Proud of you Seven!

In the wake of recent flooding in Northeast Tennessee, Ground Zero K9 Seven is hard at work, assisting with search and rescue efforts. 🐕🚨

One of the K9s I helped train at Ground Zero Emergency Training Center, Mini has been deployed to assist in recovery efforts to areas affected by Hurricane Helene. Very proud of this team, and glad to be a part in their training journey. Safe travels Meredith Pool. I am proud of you, you are doing great work.

It’s been a week since Hurricane Helene first made landfall on the Florida coast, leaving a vast trail of destruction that can be seen all the way in the Appalachia region in Tennessee and North Carolina.

🐶🐶Pets can improve your physical health in many ways, including:

🐶 Exercise • Pets can encourage you to be more active, which can help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of chronic diseases. For example, dog owners tend to be more physically active than non-dog owners.
🐶 Heart health • Pet owners tend to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
🐶 Immune system • Pets can help boost your immune system by exposing you to different types of bacteria. This can be especially beneficial for children.

Update: Our phones are back up and I am able to receive calls again. Thank you for your patience.

Our phones are currently being impacted by the Verizon phone outage nationwide for those who have tried to contact us via phone. Hopefully they will be back up and running soon. Until then, I am able to respond to messages and inquires via Facebook messenger with our Wi-Fi. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, again hopefully phones will be back up soon.

My absolute favorite part of the year is being able to go and speak to the kids at Holly Harshman. The kids loved learning about all of Olive’s skills and how her good behavior positively impacts her life and what she is capable of! Thank you again Holly Harshman Elementary for allowing me to showcase Olive’s skills
