They may look sleepy now, but the Dude Perfect litter is resting up for a lifetime of life-saving task work. 🏈🏀 The Dude Perfect litter are the puppies of Irene & Mello Yello and they are sponsored by the Hmielewski Family.

We want to send a huge thank you to Epsilon Nu Tau at the University of Dayton for sending a volunteer group to help us on-site. They cleaned our entire lobby to ensure our facility is fresh, safe, and welcoming for all of our guests.
