Along Comes Kerith

Heidi’s latest trainee, Kerith began as a potential guide dog, but she was a bit more energetic and affectionate than the job called for, so she switched careers.

Kerith is now certified as a comfort dog, through the Pet Partners therapy dog organization. Kerith, (along with Heidi) began making the rounds as a therapy dog in her local hospital emergency wards.

Everyone loves Kerith. So she did what any popular dog does, Kerith started her own Instagram account: @kerith_the_golden_retriever.  Check it out and Follow Her Here! Over 7K followers and counting!

Kerith in the News!

Kerith has become a celebrity of sorts! During this week of severe wildfires in Northern California, Heidi has taken Kerith to give comfort to the many hardworking firefighters in Marin County’s Woodward Fire.

CNN ran a story on August 26, 2020, and many other news outlets picked it up as well. Check out this page: Kerith in the News and read all about her amazing efforts!

The video story below is very inspiring too!

Kerith is doing what a dog does best, make people feel good! She has a sweet disposition and is helping in the community during difficult times!

Go Kerith! Keep up the good work! Oh, and you too Heidi! It sounds like a book deal could happen at any time!
