Jack is now with the Saint Francis Service Dogs. He is with puppy-raisers, Penny and Brown, on a farm in Lexington.  I understand that he met chickens for the first time yesterday; when he was told to back off, he sat and watched.  his early and very positive experiences with Slick, the Cat, taught him that other species are fun and friendly, not prey!

You can learn more about the program at Saint Francis Service Dogs here.

Jack and Sara went to live together with a wonderful family! They look very settled in and loved!

First up is Sara with her human siblings.

Here’s Jack snuggling with his human sibling:

Here is an update from Pax’s trainer:

Pax had a rough first night at our house. He was testing his lung capacity. Poor little guy just couldn’t settle. Since then, however, we have made fabulous progress and he collapsed at 8:30 last night (which I feared was too early) and got up about 5:45 this morning. He only whine once in the night to go out. This whole thing is even more amazing when you add that I have moved the crate to the kitchen (it was in our room) and my son came home and was making food around 11.

Pax is doing very well. He is requiring a lot of my time, which I had counted on, but it’s just the reality of it, now. His play sessions often last more than ½ hour with me! He is doing fine with the other dogs, was trying to squish my crested puppy but after a couple “no’s” and removal from the situation he learned to leave her alone and she learned to jump up on the bed or couch!

He has been to the post office, bank, Petsmart and Home Depot! I attached a picture of him in the carrier. He is overflowing it. It says it holds dogs up to 25 lbs but as you can see his 14.4 lbs are hanging out of it! He looks like he is going to be a substantial boy!

I’m enjoying this experience and he is a good boy. Thank you again for the donation.

Did I hear that Jack might want to join him in this service dog adventure?
Take care and I’ll send more later.

Below is a gorgeous picture of Patty, Gabby, and Pax.

From the Saint Francis Service Dog website: “Welcome to Saint Francis Service Dogs. Saint Francis Service Dogs was formed in 1996 as a secular, community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in Roanoke, Virginia, to raise and train service dogs for individuals with physical and/or emotional disabilities, enabling them to become more independent and self-sufficient through partnership with a service dog.”

Pax is going to provide an invaluable service to the community and everyone who loves Pax knows he will do a wonderful job and they are very proud of him.
