This Father’s Day, we honor the quiet strength, patience, and love that define fatherhood—and no one embodies that spirit more tenderly than our very own Tommy.

Born in a backyard puppy mill in Homestead, Florida, Tommy’s early life was filled with hardship. He was used for breeding and sold four times—never knowing love, comfort, or even the simple joy of play. When we rescued him, he was in heartbreaking condition: covered in ringworm, his teeth rotten, and most devastating of all—completely disconnected from human touch. He had never been petted, never felt the warmth of kindness.

After receiving the medical care he so desperately needed, we discovered Tommy has Vestibular Disease, which affects his balance. But what he may lack in coordination, he more than makes up for in heart.

Today, Tommy is not just safe and learning what love feels like—he’s become a source of comfort for others. As our resident dog, Tommy now serves as a support dog to newly rescued pups, helping them navigate those uncertain first days with his calm, gentle presence. He is a quiet guide, showing them that healing is possible and love is real.

This Father’s Day, let’s honor the quiet strength that Tommy is discovering—and the tireless commitment of dads everywhere who give so much of themselves to guide, heal, and nurture. 💙
