Want to support Pets for Life? Here is a great new children’s book that will donate a share of the profits to our organization.

🐾 MAX THE THERAPY DOG 🐾
We’re excited to share “Max the Therapy Dog,” a new picture book written by Madeline Male as
part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project.

🏅 The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn, recognizing projects
designed to make a lasting difference in their communities.

Madeline was inspired to write the book after seeing a therapy dog team in action and witnessing the special connection these dogs and their handlers can make with the people they visit.

The book follows Max, a therapy dog who brings comfort, smiles, and joy to people through his
visits — introducing young readers to the important work of therapy dogs in a warm and
engaging way.

Even more special, all profits from the book are being donated to support therapy dog
organizations, and Pets for Life is honored to be one of the recipients.

We are grateful to Madeline for choosing to support therapy dog teams through her Gold Award project and thrilled to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment with her!

You can meet Madeline at the annual volunteer party on November 7th since she is going to be our guest speaker!

📚 “Max the Therapy Dog” is available now on Amazon.

🐾 Celebrating Dog Week: September 21-27 🐾

Dear Pets For Life Volunteers,

As we celebrate Dog Week, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible difference you make every day through the healing power of therapy animals.

Each visit, wagging tail, gentle nudge, and quiet moment of companionship brings comfort, hope, and joy to people who may be facing challenges, loneliness, illness, or stress. Your dedication reminds us that sometimes the most powerful medicine comes on four legs and doesn't say a word.

This Dog Week, let's raise awareness about the unique role therapy dogs play in strengthening communities and enriching lives. Behind every successful therapy visit is a committed volunteer who gives their time, compassion, and heart to others.

Thank you for being advocates for kindness, ambassadors for the human-animal bond, and champions of the life-changing work that therapy animals provide. Together, we are creating brighter days, one paw print at a time.

Happy Dog Week! 🐕❤️

"The world becomes a better place when compassion walks beside us on four paws."

With gratitude,

Pets For Life

Thank you to our volunteer teams (Kathy & Ghost, Michelle & Winnie, Toby & Sammie) for representing Pets For Life for the 5th time at this event. This weekend we remember the attacks that shook our nation 25 years ago, and honor all victims, their families, first responders, and all of our brave men & women in uniform that answered the call.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good luck Mater! 👍👍👍

Johnson County Department of Corrections is proud to welcome Mater, its newly certified therapy dog, to the department. Mater joined the department after nearly two years of planning and coordination with CARES Incorporated, a Kansas organization that specializes in therapy dog training.
