Well, we started with five hopeful therapy dog teams, and after a few twists and turns, some unexpected challenges, and a little thing called life getting in the way, we crossed the finish line today with TWO brand-new certified therapy dog teams!

These two have wonderful temperaments, adorable personalities, and plenty of character! And their owners... Just as special!

And the cutest moment of the day, One of our little graduates sat at the table during certification paperwork, head resting on the tabletop, looking like every word was sinking in! I half expected a paw to go up with a question!

So today, we proudly welcome two wonderful new teams into the Pet Prescription Team family! I can't wait to see the hearts they'll touch and the smiles they'll bring.

After all, it's not about how many cross the finish line, it's about making sure those who do are ready to…

Every once in a while, a very special dog comes into the Pet Prescription Team, one that seems to understand the meaning of our mission, Healing Hearts Through Pets, without ever having to be taught. Tessa was one of those dogs.

Last night, at the beautiful age of 15½, our precious Tessa crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving behind a legacy of more than 13 years of therapy dog service and countless hearts that were made a little lighter because she came into their lives.

Tessa's life didn't begin easily, but you would never have known it by the love she gave so freely. She had a remarkable gift, something I have witnessed in only a handful of dogs over the years. She knew how to comfort people. She didn't need to perform tricks or do anything extraordinary to make a difference. All she had to do was settle into someone's…

To our amazing Pet Prescription Team volunteers,

We are beyond grateful for every one of you. You worked tirelessly throughout the Big Roundup, shared our message, created peer-to-peer pages, posted on Facebook, and reached out to friends, family members, coworkers, and anyone who might help support the work we do. It was incredible to watch your enthusiasm, determination, and heart throughout this fundraiser.

Every one of you is a winner. Your support went far beyond raising funds. You showed just how deeply you believe in the mission of Pet Prescription Team and in the lives we are blessed to touch every day. Thank you for your kindness, your hard work, and your continued support. We are so grateful to have you beside us, and we look forward to all that God has ahead for Pet Prescription Team in the coming year.

With heartfelt gratitude, Krystal

Dear PPT Volunteers,

What a wild ride Big Roundup 2026 has been! It has been exciting and incredibly encouraging to watch everyone come together to help provide the funds needed to continue the work of Pet Prescription Team and support the projects we have ahead of us.

Although the fundraiser has officially ended, we always keep the books open for a few extra days because checks have a way of continuing to trickle in through the mail. Thank you, United States Postal Service! Rather than announce a number too soon, I want to give those final donations time to arrive and be included.

On Monday, October 5, I will send everyone our official Big Roundup 2026 final tally and share just what we accomplished together.

Thank you to every person who donated, shared our fundraiser, reached out to friends and family, created a fundraising page, encouraged someone else to participate,…
