Dewey, Puppies with Purposes’ first service dog in training, came to the organization in August. He’s a Golden Retriever with a great personality and adorable face who loves to play. Check out pictures of Dewey below.
-
- Dewey, who is growing quickly, is almost big enough to get out of his exercise pen.
-
- Here, Dewey is pictured playing tug-of-war with coordinator TerriAnn’s dog Diva, a Golden Retriever and certified therapy dog. Tug-of-war helps Dewey become stronger and gain confidence that will help him in his career as a service dog.

- Part of Dewey’s training requires him to go to public places so that he is exposed to a variety of people and situations. This photo was taken during a shopping trip to Michael’s.

- Part of Dewey’s training requires him to go to public places so that he can be exposed to a variety of people and situations. As you can see, he had no problem relaxing during a shopping trip to Target.
-
- Dewey is growing fast – he was almost too big for the scale at this visit to the veterinarian’s office.
-
- Any time Dewey leaves home, he wears his hunter green vest, which says, “Service Dog in Training.” This alerts people to the fact that he is a service dog and therefore must be allowed into businesses, classrooms and other locations.
-
- Part of socializing Dewey for his future service dog career means bringing him out in public and exposing him to all kinds of places and people. As you can see, shopping is one of his favorite activities. This photo is from a Pier One Imports shopping excursion in September.
-
- Puppies with Purpose volunteers went to Mizzou’s game against University of Georgia with Dewey to raise awareness for the program and collect donations. Thanks to the very kind and generous tailgaters there, we raised $113 for the organization.
-
- Dewey sits outside of Puppies with Purpose organizer TerriAnn’s home. Like many retriever puppies, Dewey is kind of obsessed with playing in his water bowl.
Puppies with Purpose events and more
Puppies with Purposes has fundraisers, meetings and events all of the time, which we love because it gives us the chance to bond with one another and the community while spreading the word about service dogs.
