This is Roxy 🐕🐾

She’s our newest volunteer, alongside her human, Bob.

Roxy is a certified service dog, and she brought more than tail wags to our shelter guests — she brought hope, comfort, and most of all, joy.

In moments that can feel heavy, Roxy has a way of making hearts a little lighter and days a little brighter.

Thank you, Bob and Roxy, for supporting our families in the best way you know how: with puppy kisses, gentle companionship, and unconditional love. 💛
