Unleash Your Love Campaign Update One week into Unleash Your Love 2026, we’re excited to share that together we have officially met our $50,000 matching gift and have now raised $103,349 toward our $275,000 goal! We are so grateful for the incredible support from our community, donors, volunteers, ambassadors, and sponsors who are helping make these life-changing partnerships possible. Every dollar raised helps provide highly skilled mobility service dogs to people living with disabilities at no cost to our clients. At the heart of this work are clients like Juliet and her service dog, Teal. Juliet’s mom, Karen, recently shared this update with us: “We noticed right away how confident Juliet is with Teal at her side. Teal is truly a superhero who helps Juliet do things independently. Teal allows Juliet to feel more comfortable walking in public, at the hospital, and during medical appointments and procedures. We are so grateful for this partnership. Juliet often describes Teal as ‘kind and gentle,’ which was exactly what she hoped for in a service dog. Thank you to Summit Assistance Dogs for doing such a wonderful job matching them together. They are a great team!” - Karen Stories like Juliet and Teal’s are why this work matters so deeply. Every gift helps support veterinary care, advanced training, client matching, puppy raising support, our prison partnership program, and the ongoing care that helps these teams thrive together. There’s still time to help us reach our $275,000 goal by May 31, and every dollar truly makes a difference. Head to link in bio to donate today! Thank you for being part of the Summit community and helping unleash love in such a meaningful way.

Yoshi has been working hard and is almost ready to meet his future partner as a mobility service dog! Yoshi is a tall, affectionate Labrador who forms a strong bond with his handler and thrives on close connection. He is always eager for outings, brings a joyful energy to his work, and will benefit from a supportive partner who can encourage him through more difficult tasks. While friendly with everyone, Yoshi prefers to stay focused on his person rather than engaging with strangers. With his affectionate nature and strong handler focus, Yoshi has great potential as a devoted service dog partner! Learn more about Yoshi and see if he is the right fit for you by heading to our website, !

Our puppy raisers and sitters had a special visit from the Easter Bunny! Costumes and mascots can be a stressful experience for any dog, so it's important to establish confidence and a sense of safety early on. Our dogs and their handlers did a great job navigating this new experience.
