Dogs in Can Palmetto is a non-profit on a mission, training puppies to become guide dogs for the visually impaired service dogs for veterans with, PTSD and helpers for Gold Star families. Their big draw right now is a hands-on session where families cuddle these future heroes to kickstart their socialization. These pups start out super cute but need early lessons in chilling with all kinds of people. You get to hold them, let them nap in your lap and help them build that confidence before they move to advanced training. Families love it and is drawing crowds because it's a win-win kids and adults bond with the dogs while supporting a great cause. No experience needed, just pure fun that makes a real difference in the community. Sessions run for all ages and cost $30 per person, including puppy time and a full campus tour to see the whole operation of close. They're keeping spots open to ramp up the puppy prep.
