Exciting News! ๐ŸŽ‰ These two can hardly contain their joy as we shared the fantastic news: their training for the next year has been fully funded by Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack & Hotel through their Legacy Grant! Thanks to this generous $15,000 award, we can cover the training and care of two service dogs for an entire year.

Itโ€™s partnerships like these that make what we do possible, helping us empower and give back to those who need it most. We are incredibly grateful and humbled by Prairie Meadows' support and belief in our mission.
