🎉 Happy Tails Alert! 🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that Bolt has found his forever family – right in the heart of our program! After working closely with Jayden, one of our incredible student handlers, Bolt and Jayden developed a bond too strong to break When Jayden’s family met Bolt, they saw firsthand just how special their connection was and knew that Bolt was meant to be a part of their lives forever 🥹 Nothing makes us happier than seeing the bonds between our students and their shelter dog partners turn into forever families. Congratulations, Bolt and Jayden! 💙 #HumanAnimalBond #NonProfit #YouthDevelopment #YouthEmpowerment #ShelterDogs #DogTraining

K9 Youth Alliance is empowering the future through film! Last year, we launched our Video Storytellers program, and it’s been a hit! Our incredible former program graduates are coming back to K9 Youth Alliance and diving into the world of filmmaking to be the voices of homeless shelter dogs. Capturing their stories on screen, they’re becoming advocates for those who can’t speak for themselves. We’re all about giving kids the tools they need for a bright future, and this initiative does just that! Through filmmaking, our Video Storyteller participants aren’t only learning valuable skills, they’re also creating a lasting impact by sharing the spotlight on shelter dogs who are searching for their forever homes. We can’t wait to show you what our Video Storytellers created during the Fall Positive Youth Development Series! Enjoy this little sneak peek, and stay tuned for the big reveal! #YouthEmpowerment #YouthDevelopment #HumanAnimalBond #AfterSchoolProgram #DogTraining #NonProfit #Pasadena
