Some of you may remember SSD Winter as the mother of the
Royal litter (Caspian, Aladdin, Philip, Kiara, Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella,
Kida Rose and Jasmine) and the Crayon litter (Shamrock, Denim, Slate, Lavender,
Onyx, Rusty, Sienna, Jade and Copper). In fact, SSD Denim, Lavender, Shamrock and
Slate will be graduating tomorrow!
Winter gave us some wonderful puppies, and now she’s a
demonstration dog for SSD. Our demonstration dogs are trained in many of the
service dog skills, such as how to pick things up, how to alert to sounds and
how to open doors. Winter’s favorite skill is turning on light switches!
SSD Winter loves doing demonstration work. She has a sweet,
loving personality and enjoys showing off for people. But she does know how to
relax, too, spending a lot of her time snuggling on the couch.
Demonstration dogs are ambassadors for SSD. They visit
schools, clubs, churches, and other groups to demonstrate what service dogs do
and how they can assist people. We have a wonderful group of volunteers who do
these demos and take care of demonstration dogs. They can tailor the
demonstration to the needs of the group that requested it. If you or your group
would like us to do a demonstration, please contact Vikki Lagaza at vlagaza@keystonehumanservices.org.
