As a proud dog mom to Penny, my lovable Goldendoodle, I know firsthand just how much joy, love, and comfort our furry companions bring into our lives. That’s why I was so excited to partner with HappyTails Canine Wellness to give back to an organization that truly understands the impact of a great dog—the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dubuque! Recently, we sent a special package of HappyTails treats to Souly, the club’s beloved therapy dog, as a small way to say thank you for all the happiness she brings to the kids there.

Meet Souly: The Heart of the Boys & Girls Club

As a fellow Goldendoodle mom, I have such a soft spot for dogs like Souly. She’s not just a pet—she’s a source of comfort, emotional support, and unconditional love for every child who walks through the doors of the Boys & Girls Club. Having a dog around can make a space feel warmer, more inviting, and even safer, and Souly does just that. She helps kids feel at ease, brings smiles to their faces, and makes the club feel even more like a second home.

Why Giving Back Matters

I know how much Penny means to me—she’s not just my dog; she’s my best friend, my adventure buddy, and my constant source of happiness. Seeing the way Souly impacts these kids reminded me why supporting therapy dogs and animal-friendly nonprofits is so important. Dogs provide companionship, ease stress, and promote emotional well-being, especially for children who may be going through tough times. Supporting organizations that recognize and celebrate the human-animal bond is something I care deeply about, and I love that HappyTails feels the same way.

How HappyTails Supports Animal-Focused Nonprofits

At HappyTails, we’re passionate about enhancing the well-being of dogs everywhere. That’s why we:

• Support therapy and service dogs who provide companionship to kids, veterans, and those in need.

• Provide top-quality wellness products that help dogs stay happy and healthy.

• Advocate for pet adoption and rescue initiatives that ensure every dog finds a loving home.

How You Can Help

If you’re a fellow dog mom (or dog dad!), there are so many ways to support organizations that help amazing dogs like Souly:

• Donate to local shelters and nonprofits that care for therapy and rescue animals.

• Volunteer your time at an animal organization or foster a dog in need.

• Spread the word by sharing stories like Souly’s and supporting businesses that give back.

Join Me in Making a Difference

As Penny’s mom, I know how much love a dog can bring into our lives, and I love being part of a community that values the incredible work of therapy dogs like Souly.

Whether it’s a treat, a belly rub, or just a little extra love, every act of kindness makes a difference for our furry friends and the people they help. Let’s continue to spread the joy of dog companionship—because every pup deserves to be celebrated! 🐾
