Want to help support a wonderful cause and get some puppy loving in? We’re currently looking for a couple short-term summer puppy raisers to help house a puppy and bring puppy for training opportunities at our office in Leesburg as part of our Service Dog program.

Applicants should be ready to share lots of love and implement some basic house manners (that we will teach you how to do) to help support puppy in their journey to become a Service Dog. If you’re interested, please email us at [email protected]

Long-term puppy raising opportunities are also available! Applicants will be subject to a background check and formal application.

Last evening at Kid night, the kids had so much fun playing Jenga with our therapy dogs! We do Jenga with a twist, each block has a different thing for the kids to do with the dog that they are paired with along with questions to get to know the other teams! Pictured below our therapy dogs: Shirley, Snickers, Joy & Brooklyn!

Therapy dogs are just amazing and absolutely life changing! Their love and attention can change someone's attitude in seconds. And who doesn't love a furry confidant you can tell your secrets to? That's why we are asking you to donate today to the Heeling House Therapy Dog program on today's Give Choose donation day.

Today, the Community Foundation is hosting the community's largest day of giving with the goal of helping local nonprofits expand and maintain their programs. This year, Heeling House is channeling donations into our Therapy Dog Program. Heeling House therapy dogs support so many programs within the community including school destress days, reading at the library, one on one therapy support, and Kid Nights at the Heeling House.

While our therapy dogs are handled and cared for by our amazing volunteers, there are a number of costs to keep the program running. There are business expenses to keep visitors and volunteers safe! (Boring business stuff, but safety and operating costs are important!) Then there are the arts and crafts during Kid Night and the fun trading cards given out at visits (you gotta' get 'em all!) And most importantly, we are looking to revitalize our in-house PACK program. This will include hands on activities for teens to participate in and the cost of supplies can add up. While we rely on volunteers, we also rely on our communities and appreciate everyone's support!

If you are interested in supporting Heeling House with a donation, just visit www.givechoose.org and donating today, March 25 from midnight to midnight.
