Tuukka has been nominated for the 2026 Pet Partners Pet of the Year and he would love your help in gaining donations! If you are not familiar, Pet Partners is one of only 2 national organizations that registers therapy animals. In essence, they are the reason Tuukka can visit your facilities and provide comfort and smiles to those we interact with. 

Tuukka was nominated by an employee of the organization, Claire, who saw his outstanding commitment to providing therapy animal services to the island of Oahu. Tuukka and I are one of only two teams on the island who are registered through Pet Partners! Super cool! 

While Tuukka would love his donations to come in the form of cheese (his favorite snack), we are reaching out for donations to help support Pet Partners. All funds received go directly to creating ?meaningful visits around the world that help improve the physical, social, and emotional lives of both the people and animals involved.?

Please purchase a t-shirt with your favorite therapy dog on it. If your feeling extra generous you can also follow the link below to donate and help Tuukka be awarded the very special title of 2026 Pet of the Year!
