Come see our rescue turned service dog, Ren! Ren is a 3-year-old Beagle/Basset/Lab mix that we adopted at 10 months old from Avery Humane Society. He was severely anxious and was covered in demodectic mange, had an injured paw and hip damage. After months of behavioral rehabilitation by Melissa McKinnon, Owner of Woof Pack Pet Services, he continued taking classes until he earned his CGC and was trained to become a service dog for Mary Ann Sartori. He will be at this event for a presentation on what he has learned as a working dog, his story, and an overview on service dogs.
