Meet Leo At just 6 months old, Leo is already making an incredible impression. Leo is currently training to become the therapy dog for the Mequon Police Department, and we were honored to attend his official swearing-in ceremony as he began this exciting journey. Since joining the department, Leo has been learning and growing at an incredible pace. He’s excelling in his training just as quickly as he’s growing, and his confidence, eagerness to learn, and wonderful temperament continue to shine with every outing. We have no doubt that Leo will have a lasting impact on the officers, staff, and community he will one day serve. His future is incredibly bright, and we can’t wait to watch him continue to grow into an outstanding therapy dog.

Meet North, our 7-year-old German Shepherd and one of the incredible therapy dogs at Dawgs at Work! North serves memory care communities, elementary schools, and behavioral health programs, where her calm, gentle presence brings comfort and connection to those she meets.
When she’s not out visiting the community, North has another important job as one of our mentor dogs.

We’re so proud to have North as part of our team and grateful for the difference she makes every single day.
Meet Basil! Some dogs have a special way of bringing people together, and Basil is one of them. At just 2 years old, Basil serves as the therapy dog for the dog ministry at Hales Corners Lutheran Church and School, where his calm presence and friendly personality make a meaningful impact every day.
Whether he’s attending church services, visiting classrooms, participating in school events, or simply being available for students and staff who need a moment of comfort, Basil reminds us that support doesn’t always come in the form of words. Sometimes it’s a gentle nudge, a wagging tail, or a quiet companion by your side. Therapy dogs like Basil help create welcoming environments where children feel safe, encouraged, and supported. From celebrating achievements to helping through difficult days, he’s always ready to brighten someone’s day with unconditional kindness. We’re incredibly proud of the difference Basil continues to make in his church and school community.
Honey is growing into something truly special. At just 10 months old, Honey is hard at work preparing for her future as a therapy dog with the therapy dog ministry at Holy Cross Church. Every outing, training session, and new experience helps build the confidence, calmness, and reliability she’ll need as she begins serving the children and staff in their school. Soon, Honey will be there to offer comfort during difficult days, celebrate happy moments, encourage young readers, and provide a quiet, calming presence whenever it’s needed most.
Therapy dogs do so much more than make people smile. They help create connections, reduce stress, and remind us that sometimes the best support doesn’t require words. We’re so proud of Honey and can’t wait to watch the incredible impact she’ll make in her community.
