Service Alert Dog Helps Keep Teen with Diabetese Alive and Well

Service alert dog Max harasses Liam Kelly, 14, of Gig Harbor after Max noticed Kelly’s blood sugar was elevated during a training session at Canyon Crest K-9 Training Center near Midland last week. Liam has been working with Max for about six months.

Max has a nose for Kelly’s blood-sugar levels, thanks to training from Ron Pace and Jarod Pace of Canyon Crest K9 Training Center in the Summit/Waller Road area. Using actions and rewards, the Paces taught Max to alert Kelly when his blood-sugar levels were too high or too low.

Remember Our Female Pets on Mother's Day!

Mothers are moms - regardless of species.

They show their love & affection to their young. They lead by example and give their all just to watch over their young to guide their way and to keep them safe. They plant seeds of wisdom and knowledge that helps their offspring to be happy, feel safe and maintain their independent spirit.

God bless each and every female that has given herself to raising her young. We salute and thank each for their fortitude, love & patience.

Happy Mother's Day!

CRTASA wishes all the mothers around the world a joyous celebration! As we each remember and acknowledge our Mother's unconditional love, patient guidance and hard work in raising us over the years! 

...And for all those children whose mothers may not be with them today in body that their memories and joyous moments bring them comfort and warm their hearts.

Sincerely - CRTASA Team
