Check out this year's recap!👇
Big news from the nursery! We have two new litters of future world-changers joining the Project 2 Heal family.
First up, meet Basil, Echo, Misa, Gem, Tru, and Remi — six tiny bundles of energy who have already filled our days with wobbly zoomies, puppy pile naps, and endless snuggles. Between curious noses and playful tugs, this crew is learning about the world one pawstep at a time, building the foundation for their bright futures as service dogs in training.
And just when you thought the cuteness couldn’t possibly continue...
Introducing the Wonders of the World litter: Taj, Petra, Moosse, Ali, Machu, Lumi, Halie, Rio, and Chi Chi! Each pup is already living up to their incredible name, full of curiosity, confidence, and heart.
These growing pups remind us every day why our mission matters. Every playful moment today brings them one step closer to changing a life tomorrow.
Stay tuned for more updates as these little ones begin their journey of growth, purpose, and plenty of puppy love along the way!
It’s an exciting time at Project 2 Heal because Rosie and Rooster’s litter has just turned 7 weeks old! These sweet all-girl pups are right in the middle of one of the most important stages of their development. At this age, they are starting to build their first social skills, learning how to play together, and figuring out how to communicate through body language, little barks, and playful pounces.
They’re also becoming braver explorers each day. Every new sight, sound, and smell helps them learn about the world and prepare for all the experiences they’ll encounter as future service dogs. Whether it’s tumbling over each other in the blanket pile, testing out who gets the prized toy, or discovering how loud their squeaks can be, every moment is an important step in their growth.
We can’t wait to share more of their adventures with you as they continue to grow and prepare for the next chapter of their journey. Stay tuned to our socials for plenty of adorable updates and to see where these little ones are headed next!
We are thrilled to share that Chessy has officially moved in with the Colucci family, where she will be joining Cypress, one of our amazing momma dogs already in the program.
Chessy is stepping into an exciting stage of her life as a future momma dog, and there is no better guide than Cypress. With Cypress showing her the ropes, Chessy will learn important lessons about socialization, confidence, and leadership that will help her thrive in her role.
The Colucci family has always provided loving care and guidance to our dogs, and Chessy is already settling in beautifully. Between family love, consistent training, and plenty of puppy playtime with her big sister, she is building the foundation for a bright future as a momma dog and service dog contributor.
We could not be more grateful to the Coluccis for opening their hearts and home to Chessy and for helping shape the next generation of Project 2 Heal dogs. Cypress and Chessy are already proving to be the perfect duo!
