Blue the Berner for Wags

Wags (Wonderful Animals Giving Support) mission is to utilize the relationship between people and pets to enhance health, independence and quality of life.

Blue and I are honored to be an ambassador team for Wags since 2015.  We visit Norton Brownsboro Hospital staff and occasionally patients when asked, and also visit Louisville Sandiford Airport. 

We've had many heartwarming experiences.  When we enter the hospital, Blue pulls me in with her hips swaying like a slinky.  The nurses run up to hug her and call others to gather.  They always tell us "we made their day".  Airport visits are fun because the smiling faces lure us over.  The crying little girl with mom waving goodbye to her dad was a sad site.  Blue walked up to the girl and licked her tears.  She giggled, hugged Blue and gave us all a delightful smile. 

Give for Good Louisville #GiveForGoodLou is a wonderful opportunity for us to raise awareness and funds for our organization, allowing us to continue providing our invaluable pet therapy services to those who need their spirits uplifted. WAGS has a waiting list of facilities who would like and truly need our services.

Dogs have an innate sense of bringing out the best in people.  Science says when we interact with dogs, our oxytocin levels shoot up.  Since this is the hormone largely responsible for social bonding, this hormonal “Love Shot” boosts our psychological well-being. 

Please won’t you consider making a donation to WAGS through Give For Good?  Every donation, no matter the amount, help us to provide more comfort & joy and bring smiles wherever our dogs visit.  Think of every dollar donated as you giving your "Love Shot" to someone needing emotional support.

You can donate only on Thursday, 9/12 but our prize money increases between 9-11am and the greatest Minutes in Giving will be from 7:15-7:17pm. This is sponsored by Churchill Downs and we have the opportunity to win $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000.

Blue thanks you in advance!
