Wondering what our placed pup, Ma**er is up to now? Almost two years ago now, we placed Ma**er with Lori-Lee, a Veteran in need of a fully trained Service Dog to help her with her day to day activities. Ma**er is loving life and is Lori-Lee's sidekick and forever companion.

Hi 🐶🐾 It’s been awhile!

We’ve been so busy training Petra that we haven’t been able to update you! It was worth it because she has officially completed her Service Dog Training and is ready to be placed with a Veteran in need.

Swipe through to check out Petra’s journey! We’ve been with her since she could start training as a little pup! We can’t wait to partner her with her future companion. She is just the sweetest pup!

If you or someone you know is a Veteran in need of a Service Dog, message us today!

One year ago we placed Ma**er with Veteran Lori-Lee and we could not be more proud!

Ma**er continues to support Lori-Lee and is an absolute joy to everyone he meets!

We are looking forward to placing Petra next!

One year ago we were interviewed by The Boston 25 Zip Trip Series!

Joe discussed K9 Mission, it’s importance and how you can help us help Veterans in need.

Our Founder Joe was also awarded the Shrewsbury Hometown Hero Award 🥇 💛

We are so proud of everything K9 Mission has achieved since then!

It's been awhile since we have last checked in!

Petra is steadily perfecting her training and learning more and more ways that she can help her future companion. She is also enjoying all the treats along the way :)

Petra will be ready to be placed with a Veteran in the Fall. She will be partnered with a Veteran at no cost to them.

At K9 Mission, we are so grateful to all of those who have served. Our way of giving back is by training our Service Dogs to fit the needs of those suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns.

Sending all of our love to Lori-lee Adams, the first recipient for one of our Service Dogs, Ma**er ❤

We are thinking of you and are grateful that you have Ma**er to comfort you during this difficult time.

On this day two years ago was the first time K9M Founder, Joe met our first service dog in training Kai (can you tell it was love at first sight!?) ❤️❤️

Joe always had a special place in his heart for Kai which is why he was specifically donated to the Rutland Police Department in honor of Detective John D. Songy who tragically passed away after his battle with COVID-19.

Kai is now a community service dog, capable of being introduced to persons experiencing fear, anxiety, trauma or mental health crisis. In these situations, Kai is used as a de-escalation tool. When able, Kai will also attend community events (if you see him be sure to say hi he loves hugs 😌)

02/03/2021

It's ! Appreciation post to our first K9 who started it all, Kai!

Kai now works at the Rutland Police Department and is loving every second of being a part of the Rutland Community!

💛💛💛
