WE WON!!!
Brigadoon's veterans tree decorations
at Hotel Bellwether lobby was voted
best tree this year.
Thank YOU to all who voted!
We focused on veterans in gratitude
for receiving the Wounded Warrior
Service Dog Program grant.
On our tree, you could see
our veterans and read their words.
It was quite moving.
During this annual fundraiser,
Hotel Bellwether raised $7,500
for Skookum Kids,
a great non-profit for foster kids.
We are proud to take part.
Hotel Bellwether
gave us a fantastic gift certificate,
a wine pairing dinner for six

which we will include in our auction,

TRAINING A DOG TAKES PLACE
FROM EIGHT WEEKS TO TWO YEARS MATURITY
COST: $30,000
Most people in need cannot afford the cost, so Brigadoon Service Dogs became a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2004 in order to help bridge the financial gap. Civilians pay a third of the cost and veterans never pay.
DOGS: 8 to 16 months -- Live with PRISON PROGRAM inmates 24/7 for daily intermediate level training
using positive reinforcement of praise and nibbles of food.
(Inmates with Denise CoStanten, their instructor -- our Founder and Executive Director.)
THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS!
