Welcome our newest class member

Introducing . . . PADS "CANNOLI"!

I am pleased to introduce you to "Cannoli", a 9 week old, female, yellow labrador retriever. Cannoli is a certified PADS dog (Pacific Assistance Dogs Society) who is in the beginning stages of her training process. I have the privilege of being one of her certified volunteer 'puppy raisers' for the next 2 months before she moves to the United States for the rest of her training. "Cannoli" will be attending the occasional Day 1's with me as she learns the ropes of what it's like in our exciting high school environment. Thank you for helping her learn and grow! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me at mscoopermcmath@gmail.com.
