Hope Heels Service Dogs

Thank you so much Kane Veterinary Supplies for your incredible support of our program!
Christmas came early to our Hope Heels thanks to their incredibly generous donation of food, treats, toys, and harnesses!
We can't begin to express how much their support means to us and our clients.

Thank you to Edmonton Police Service Downtown Division for inviting our puppies for a visit! We had a great time as always and our pups got plenty of much needed socialization.
If there are any other first responder units or veteran organizations that are interested in having our puppies come for a visit before December 31st send us a message or an email and we'll try to work something out. We can't guaranty we can visit everyone but we will do the best we can.

Our puppies got to do some socialization training today with emergency dispatch!
Thank you so much to everyone for having us and helping our puppies gain some of the necessary exposure they'll need to be rockstar service dogs.
A huge thanks to Nadeen LaBoucane for inviting us and helping to make this happen. The puppies had a great time and are already (loudly) complaining that they had to leave.

We still need puppy raisers for this adorable crew!

If you're curious about how high our standards are for puppies to get into pur program, this is one of the pups that didn't make the cut and is off to a wonderful pet home instead.

They've just had a good solid romp outside their pen so they're pretty relaxed right now

It's always fun trying to come up with new experiences for the puppies to explore.

Puppy shrapnel!

Is there anyone travelling from Vancouver to Edmonton before Christmas that wants some road trip company? There are three lab puppies from PADs that need a ride!

Anyone driving from Edmonton to Calgary in the next little while that would be willing to bring one of our adult collies along with them?

On #internationalvolunteerday we wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU. Thank you to the volunteers who help raise puppies, the volunteers that help train service dogs, the volunteers that work behind the scenes, to all the volunteers.
To everyone involved with Hope Heels Service Dogs and Hope Heels Service Dogs Grande Prairie thankyou, we couldn’t do it without you!

Friends in the Calgary area! We are looking for people who have diabetes and would be able to provide breath samples to us so we can start training our very first diabetic alert dog!
We are also looking for - empty test strip vials - no longer in use glucose meters (and cases)... - no longer in use cellphones (and cases) - no longer in use portable house phones
Please let us know if you are able to provide any of the above! And if you are not in the Calgary area but can provide anything but the breath samples let us know and we'll try to find the best way to get those items to Calgary!

Congratulations Brittney Hodgson from Hope Heels Grande Prairie!!! We are grateful to have you as part of the Hope Heels Team!

On #GivingTuesdayCa please consider helping Hope Heels raise the next litter of service dogs. If we can raise $1000 today we can pay for one of these little pups to get the Good Start they need with a wellness check, shots and spaying/neutering. Please consider a donation.

Puppy Lady not only has her forever name but also a new home with her puppy raiser, one of our very own trainers Kristen McKenna! You can follow their journey together on Clue's facebook page!

Hey folks! We're looking for someone who is travelling from Edmonton to Toronto via Westjet who wouldn't mind bringing some adorable carry on for us!
Our little Clue is going to be a SuperDog and needs to get to her new home!
Clue was very clear right from the start that she wanted to be an athlete rather than a service dog and we're so happy that she gets to have this incredible opportunity.

Those are some cute future service dogs. Thanks Darcy Evans Photography!

Thank you to Aztec Engineering Inc for their generous support! Alex Robinson has been a long time Hope Heels Service Dogs supporter and we wouldn’t be able to place service dogs at no cost without support like this from Aztec. Be sure to check them out!
