✨ BIG UPDATE FROM OUR THERAPY & SERVICE DOG JOURNEY ✨

I know it’s been a little while since I’ve shared an update… we have been SO busy with our new location for the grooming salon & retail space Reba's 🐾💜
But we are finally starting to settle in, and the best part… we are now able to use this space for training our amazing dogs as well 🥹

---

💜 Delilah has officially passed her therapy dog test!!
She completed her training through Pawsitively Unleashed!, and I want to give a huge thank you to Renea Dahms for all of her support and guidance through this journey.

She will soon be joining me at Iola-Scandinavia High School & Middle School with her mom Ivy on Tuesdays, bringing comfort, love, and those much-needed calming moments to students. I am beyond proud of her 💕

---

🐾 MooMoo!!!!!… this one hits me right in the heart ❤️
Over the last few months, working closely with this family and watching her bond and begin working with this young girl… she has truly found her purpose.

It honestly gives me goosebumps—
it was meant to be.

She is currently in training and working towards become a Service Dog for a young girl with Type 1 Diabetes, learning to detect and respond to her needs. This journey takes time, patience, and dedication—but she is proving to be such a perfect fit 🥹

I also want to give another big thank you to Renee from Positively Unleashed for helping connect MooMoo with this amazing family—working with her has been nothing short of incredible 💜

When her training is complete and she is ready, she will be donated to the family.

💫 This is why we do what we do…

We are not raising puppies for profit…
✨ We are raising them for a PURPOSE! ✨

Our puppies are donated to programs like Journey Together Service Dog —we have proudly donated 4 puppies so far 💜

Many of our dogs have also gone on to become therapy dogs, serving in schools and helping individuals through their day-to-day lives…
✨ changing lives, offering comfort, and providing care to so many in need. ✨

---

🐶 Looking ahead…

We are hoping to have a litter this fall, and this one is extra special 💜
These puppies will be coming from Delilah, as Ivy is now retired and her daughter is stepping in after completing all of her testing 🥹

Our goal is to continue this journey and provide more puppies to families in need.

💜 How you can help…

✨🐾 It’s been a little while since we’ve shared an update on Moo Mood… 🐾✨

Life has been very busy over here as we’ve been pouring so much time, love, and energy into our new Amherst location — and we are so excited about all the new opportunities it’s creating… including having a training space to help support special dogs like Moo 💜

Our beautiful standard poodle girl from a previous litter recently got all cleaned up and freshened up at Reba’s with A Personal Touch Pet Salon with the help of our awesome new team 🛁✂️🐩
She’s looking pretty adorable in our Easter setup while getting ready for what’s ahead 🌸🐣

And while we can’t share all the details just yet… we can say that Moo has some very exciting things in her future, and we are getting closer and closer to making those plans a reality ✨

She’s continuing her journey with training and purpose in mind, and we truly could not do what we do without the love and support from our amazing community.

Through your support, encouragement, and donations to The Ella Fund, you help make dreams like this possible — and we are beyond thankful for every single person cheering her on 💜🐾

We can’t wait to share more with you soon…
Moo’s next adventure is just around the corner.

🐾 Behind the scenes with our girls… 🐾

While we’ve been super busy moving the grooming salon (Reba's A Personal Touch Pet Salon) and getting everything ready at the new location, we’ve also been working on some big things behind the scenes with our girls — and we thought it was the perfect time to give everyone a little update! 💜

✨ Delilah has officially started her therapy dog training, and we are so excited to watch her grow into this role. She has such a special temperament, and we know she is going to do amazing things in the community.

As for puppies — we unfortunately missed her last heat cycle. At the time she went into heat late last year, we were still waiting on a few health testing results. The good news is all tests came back normal, and she is cleared and ready for her next cycle, which means we are hoping for puppies later this year instead of this summer. 🐩

And Miss MooMoo 🐾 has also started some training of her own! We have very high hopes for her future, and we cannot wait to share more about the plans we have for her soon. 👀✨

Lots of exciting things happening — both in the salon and behind the scenes with our dogs. Thank you all for following along on this journey with us!

More updates to come! 💜

💗🐾 Ivy’s Tuesday Therapy Visits! 🐾💗

Ivy was extra excited for her visit today at the Iola-Scandinavia High School & Middle School — dressed in pink and ready for Valentine’s Day! 💕

She spent the day offering snuggles, comfort, and calm moments for students who needed a little extra love. Sometimes all it takes is a wagging tail and a gentle presence to brighten someone’s day.

We are so proud of this sweet girl and the joy she brings to our community 💖

🐾 Meet Our New Therapy Team Members: Ellie & Kida! 🐾

We are so excited to officially introduce two incredible therapy dogs being added to our program — Ellie and Kida! 💜

Both girls are from our previous litters, and we’re so proud to see them growing into dogs with such a meaningful purpose.

✨ Ellie is currently working as a therapy dog in Waupaca and visits a women’s shelter weekly, bringing comfort, calm, and a whole lot of love to those who need it most.

✨️Kida is also in Waupaca, and she is currently in training, working hard to follow in Ellie’s pawprints and become a therapy dog as well!

A very special part of this journey is their owner and handler, Kasandra Peterson , who has been dedicating her time to training and working with these girls, and bringing them out into the community to volunteer. Her love, commitment, and hard work are truly what makes this mission possible. 💕

These therapy dogs are proudly sponsored by Reba’s with A Personal Touch Pet Salon. Owners and groomer Rebecca Newby is honored to support them through:
✅ Grooming services
✅ Dog food
✅ Treats & enrichment goodies

We would also like to send a huge THANK YOU to a dear friend of ours, who helped us receive funding through Thrivent Action Teams to assist in purchasing the therapy dog vests. This support means the world to us and helps make this mission possible. 🐾💜

Also want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to Renea Dahms at Pawsitively Unleashed! for her training, guidance, and continued support as we grow our therapy dog program. Her knowledge and support has helped set Ellie and Kida up for success! ✨

🐾🎒 Big day for a very special girl! 🎒🐾

Today marks Ivy's FIRST day at school — not as a student, but as a therapy dog spreading love, comfort, and smiles! 💛

We are beyond proud to see her begin this journey through Personal Touch Standard Poodles, Inc., a nonprofit founded with one simple but powerful mission:

✨ Touching the lives of families in need of service and therapy dogs. ✨

Every wag, every cuddle, every calm moment Ivy brings to these kids is a reminder of why this mission matters so much to us.

This work is made possible through The Ella Fund, created in loving memory of sweet Ella — whose short life sparked a lifelong commitment to making sure service and therapy dogs are always available to those who need them most.

If you’d like to support Ivy's journey and help us continue placing incredible dogs where they’re needed most, consider donating to The Ella Fund 💜
Visit our websites www.personaltouchstandardpoodlesinc.org

Today, we celebrate Ivy… and the many hearts she’s about to touch.
Go shine, sweet girl! 🌟🐩
💕
