We can not begin express how proud we are of our Assistance Dog Teams who graduated last week! We are beyond proud of #pphChapman, #pphReid, and #PPHBooth as they step into their new roles as Facility and Service Dogs.
Over the course of our two week client training, we felt privileged to have the opportunity to get to know each team and admire their individual bonds. Our staff enjoyed every minute of the two weeks and was honored to witness the each Assistance Dog team take their first steps together.
On behalf of all of Paws for Purple Hearts, we would like to extend our most sincere thank you to all Warrior participants, volunteers, puppy parents, sponsors, and community partners for making everything that we do possible. We would like to thank our special speakers, Palo Alto VA Medical Director, Jean Gurga, and Menlo Park VA Recreation Therapist Supervisor, Welcome Center, and Canine Corner Program Manager, Melissa Puckett, for taking the time to speak at our graduation.
Thank you to our friends at the USS Hornet - Sea, Air and Space Museum for allowing us to host our graduation onboard. We'd like to give a special thank you to May The Art be with You for donating her talent and time to capture our client training and graduation. Our deepest thank you you to Flowers for a Cause for providing all beautiful flowers for our ceremony and reception.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for making this special event possible!
