I spy...

It's rare that Shilo isn't staring up at Jan while they're sitting near each other.  How do you not love that devotion?  :-)

Best of luck, Bear

For Jennifer, this is a seventh turn-in; for Sue, a first.  As much as one might think it gets easier, it really doesn't.  Each relationship with a puppy is different, so our bonds can be stronger or somewhat less strong, but it never becomes easy.  Jennifer would be the first to tell you that we love our puppies, but someone else needs them.

Go with God, Bear.  Enjoy college life, and dive into your future with Gusto.  We love you.

Chin up, just a little

Shilo sits for a portrait shoot.  Puppy raisers usually enjoy this endeavor more than dogs do.   ;-)

What a great mom!

Pretty momma Roselle, raised by our group member Carly, shows off her precious batch of newbies.  Without our heroic breeding dogs, there would be no future superheroes.  

Roselle was named after another hero (guide) dog who brought her partner down 78 flights of the World Trade Center on 9/11.  The Tampa Area Puppy Raisers sponsored Roselle with our Walkathon fundraising efforts.

Pooped pups

After a ridiculously rambunctious play date, Jewel and Shilo stop to regroup.
