November 2024 Update
Riggs, named after the Fire Engine Truck, they call the “Rigg,” therefore, they decided it’s the best name for their new fire facility dog-in-training.
Riggs has show great potential to work with the fire department and we are so excited to see how he’ll not only make working at the fire department more enjoyable, but also fulfilling his job.
We are so excited Nancy from VIP Dog Teams in California chose Riggs and thought he would be perfect for this particular VIP team! VIP Dog Teams works to provide and align dogs as animal assistance for health and wellness of humans, which means that Rigg’s main job will be to go around bringing up the general morale of the room, whether that’s during morning coffee in the break room or more emotionally-charged situations common to the fire department and the citizens they work to help. We know he’ll be perfect for this job as he was always a lover and snuggle buddy.
“He was a rockstar during his fire-facility testing!”
