We are getting into the festive spirit! 🎀

Therapy dog Chance and handler Stef spent their Saturday with Trisha at TLC Occupational Therapy, LLC to spend some time with the kiddos. Chance helps the kids work on their social skills by playing games and celebrating the holiday season.

One of Chance's favorite things is tennis balls and playing fetch 🥎. Chance definitely hopes those end up in his stocking this Christmas.

We hope you all are getting in the spirit as well!

🎉What a Paw-ty!🎉

Huge thanks to Velocity Wings Potomac Falls, Heeling House Volunteers, and the rest of the community who came out to fundraise for Heeling House. This year's fundraiser was a blast with lots of good food, great music, and fun games.

It was also a big night for Heeling House dogs! Therapy pups Toby, Joy, and Service Dog in-training Rollo joined in the party to represent the work our dogs can do. 🐾

The party and public atmosphere were a great training experience for little Rollo while letting everyone get in their dose of puppy time!

If you missed the party and want to get involved or donate to Heeling House's programs, check out our website www.heelinghouse.org

We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween! Heeling House had a float in the Leesburg Halloween Parade, and our service dogs in training were represented with the beverage theme this year! We were also happy to have some of our therapy dog teams join us. We had a wonderful time being out in the community, giving out candy, and raising awareness for the work that we do! All the dogs did great with the moving float, costumes, and the commotion of the parade.

Thank you to our puppy raisers, therapy dog teams, and other volunteers for coming out and helping with the float! What would you order off of our menu?🥤🧋

Our candy themed service puppies in training had training class last night where they practiced their down stays, heeling, and sitting! Charlie, Hershey, Peppi, Mars, Rocky, and Snickers all did such a great job focusing on their handlers even though they were all together! They had a fun time socializing at the end. We just know hearing all there names is making it hard to resist the Halloween candy until tomorrow, so we hope these pictures of hardworking puppies can hold you over until then! 🍫🐕‍🦺🍭🦮

We hope you had a wonderful Monday and a great start to your week! Last week, therapy dog in-training, Joy, got to experience a fun school day at Deer Park Elementary School.

What could be better than snuggling with a pup after a hard day?

Meet the newest service puppy in-training, ready to take on the world! Loudoun County Animal Services reached out when this little lady was surrendered to see if she would make a good fit for our programs. Now, this rescue pup has a new lease on life!

She begins her service training in the Heeling House Service Puppy Program. In the program, Heeling House has partnered with Loudoun County Sheriff's Office where select inmates will teach this puppy what she needs to know for service work from obedience to foundational skills. We hope to keep you updated on her progress!

This puppy doesn't have a name just yet! Her planned graduating class has a "candy" name theme. Head over to the Loudoun County Animal Services to place your vote for her new name.

Heeling House Service Dogs In-Training had a big week with a visit to the vet. These pups got their vaccines updated to keep them going strong. The health and well-being of a working animal is critical to a long and happy career.

We are so grateful to work with Nova Animal Hospital - Ashburn VA who has taken such great care of our dogs. Just look at all these smiling faces!
