Two years of impact, compassion, and incredible teamwork 💙🐾

Today we’re celebrating Poppy and Delta on their 2-year anniversary of being certified Crisis Canines! In that time, these amazing dogs (and their dedicated handlers) have brought comfort into some of life’s hardest moments—supporting individuals in crisis, standing beside first responders, and helping communities begin to heal.

From quiet moments of connection to large-scale deployments, Poppy and Delta have made a lasting difference simply by showing up with steady hearts and wagging tails. Their presence reminds us all of the power of empathy, patience, and unconditional support.

Thank you, Poppy and Delta, for the countless lives you’ve touched—and to their handlers for the commitment, training, and care that make this work possible. Here’s to many more years of making a difference together 🦮🦮
