PUTNAM COUNTY- Putnam Service Dogs Annual ‘Funminster’ Dog Show attracted a plethora of pooches to raise funds for the not-for-profit Putnam Service Dogs – an organization that provides free, highly trained service dogs and services to people with physical disabilities except for blindness.
Founder Nancy Teague explained her agency’s dogs “change the lives of our recipients and their families by adding love, joy, independence and ease. Putnam Service Dogs honors and promotes the nurturing bond between humans and dogs. Our hope is to not only rescue dogs but rescue families and handicapped individuals in a win-win. Our motto is ‘from shelter to service’.”
Unlike other agencies which use pedigreed dogs for clients, Teague rescues her dogs from high-kill shelters around the country.
Dogs and their owners brought home trophies Saturday at the Patterson Recreation Center for look alike, most talented, best ears, largest dog, best dressed and wiggle butt.
