Another Veterans Day has come and gone. Yet our mission has not. “Rebuild Heroes One Paw Print At A Time” every day ~ all 365 of them. Yesterday however, I was surrounded by brother’s and sisters I’ve helped through this program and their service dogs as we all spoke at the Carl M. Dessaint VFW Auxiliary 1034 Veterans Day event. Thank you to everyone who put this ceremony together and everyone in attendance for welcoming us all. 🇺🇸🐕‍🦺🐾. Michelle

***** Looking for Manual help at the training facility to move furniture on Nov 13 th (Friday) at approx. 10:30 am for an hour or 2. I know this is a hard time of day to volunteer but it’s when it has to happen. So if I can get 2 or 3 helpers that would be amazing. Just message me. Thank you Michelle 🇺🇸🐾

It’s the last day of our scrapbooking fundraiser and these ladies never disappoint! The silent auction items were amazing and their continued support and friendship means so much💙. I’ve gotten a few pages done for our facility rebuilding book, and also to met a rescue we are adopting for the next SD class. I also placed a beautiful lab with a civilian service dog student this weekend. So If that wasn’t a full weekend … my table mate took time to set up my new computer so I can start making our certificates in house and made more connections from other scrappers to keep things going behind the scenes. This was definitely a great weekend ~ Thank you everyone 🐾🐕‍🦺🇺🇸

The basket raffle tables are set up and wow look all all items. These ladies know how to put together a great variety for everyone’s taste. The bidding ends at 5 pm and winners will be announced at 7 pm. You don’t have to be attending the scrapbooking event or even be staying at the hotel to place a bid. You just need to swing in to the Hampton Inn. Colchester, VT off exit 16 and place a bid. 100% of the money raised goes back into the program 🐾🐕‍🦺🇺🇸. Thank you everyone for your continued support ~ Michelle

Honored & proud to have served and now to be asked to speak on this day 🇺🇸

This weekend we head north to Colchester for our annual scrapbooking / fundraiser. Vermont Scrappers have been with me since day one and I am so thankful for their support. So all my NORTHERN SERVICES DOG TEAMS please send me a message so we can catch up and do some training if you’re free. I will also be taking a few hours to screen a new dog for a student in Class 13! “ Rebuilding Heroes One Paw Print at a Time” is what I do every day no matter where I’m at 🐾🐕‍🦺🇺🇸

Sometimes you just gotta wonder….. and then you check in with reality and say it’s just a spider that caught the outside light just the right way and not a creepy clown coming to visit 🤣

We are honored to host the Bennington Fire Department during a TRAINING EXERCISE tonight (10/28/26) from approx. 5 pm to 8 pm as they continue to improve their rescue skills. This scenario-based training will include them deploying to our facility (fire trucks w/ lights on) and using their ladder trucks to enter the former antique center via the second floor windows to rescue victims (roll players). So don’t be alarmed this is a PLANNED TRAINING EXERCISE! We ask anyone not directly involved stay off the property. Thank you Michelle
