The KIDS Center Welcomes a Service Dog!

July 12, 2023:Episode 106

Sits & Wiggles thanks KIDS Center for all they do for our community. (I'm unable to tag them.) KIDS Center provides vital child abuse evaluation & treatment in Central Oregon. They also provide training to help people recognize & prevent child abuse. I took this training years ago, but will take it again as information is ever evolving. Please consider signing up for this free training in order to help protect our vulnerable child population.

We thank Assistance Dogs Northwest for generously donating the gift of this trained, loving service dog to such a worthy organization & mission. We welcome O'Malley & thank all service dogs; worldwide & throughout time; for the honorable & important work they perform, & for the priceless assistance & love they provide. Dogs can assist our world in countless ways, & we're grateful that their contributions are being recognized.
