New litter coming - Summer 2026
A Pet Partners therapy animal is a registered pet that volunteers with its owner in places like hospitals, schools, and nursing homes to bring comfort, joy, and healing to others. Unlike service or emotional support animals, they are trained to interact with many different people. To become a registered team, both you and your pet must pass a rigorous evaluation. The animal must be friendly, obedient, and calm under stress, while the handler must be trained on best practices, animal welfare, and safety.
Luna passed her evaluation with Pet Partners and can officially begin her work as a therapy dog. We were thrilled our hard work has paid off and can't wait to start visits. 10.21.2026
Luna has loved her recent visits: University of Utah, Brighton High School and Oakwood Elementary. When I put her Pet Partners bandana on, she knows it's time to work! Her favorite parts of her visits are the ear scratches and hugs. 1.26.2026
Before our visits we get ready with nail trimming and a good bath. Sometimes Luna's due for a haircut. Grooming is not a big deal for Luna (and she loves the extra treats). 3.15.2026
We were so excited to tell our regular therapy classrooms that Luna is expecting puppies. On the ultrasound they saw at least 5 puppies! 4.27.2026
Luna timed her puppies perfectly for our family schedule. The kids had their last day of school on Friday, and late Friday night Luna started showing signs of imminent delivery. About 9:45am on Saturday the first puppy was born! We'll share more photos for you! We look forward to resuming visits in August when school starts again.
