An Exciting 2025 Ahead!

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we are grateful for your support, honored to help our recipients, and humbled by our service dogs’ life-changing impact. 

We do not take our longevity or what we’ve achieved for granted. We continually add new ways to support recipients, strengthen operations, and recognize donors. That’s why the year ahead is so exciting!

First, it marks the first full year of our new mental health partnership, which was announced in November. 

  • In late 2024, Guardian Angels partnered with mental health experts from One Brother, One Sister to provide advanced mental health resources to our recipients, their families, and those waiting to receive one of our service dogs. 
  • This added level of emotional support is integrated with our service dog assistance to provide unprecedented holistic care and ways for these individuals to cope with trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges.

You can learn more about our partnership here.

Second, it marks a series of festivities for us to celebrate with you. We know we would not be here without supporters like you, so come help us celebrate! 

  • In May, join us for an unforgettable anniversary party in Pittsburgh at the Rivers Casino. It will be an evening of inspiration and an opportunity for you to meet some of our recipients in person. We recently announced our first Guest Speaker for the event, Jack Oehm, Battalion Commander FDNY (Ret.). Learn more about Jack Oehm here To learn more about the event or purchase tickets, click here
  • Our celebration moves to Michigan in August. Join us in the Great Lakes State as we honor our military and those who support them with a patriotic-themed event. More details will follow soon.
  • In the fall, we will return to Pittsburgh for one of our signature events, the annual Mutt Strut. This fan-favorite event is family-friendly and dog-friendly and promises to be more exciting than ever during this 15th anniversary year. Expect lively entertainment, thrilling activities, and plenty of wagging tails. Full details will be available shortly.

Can’t attend? Don’t worry! Each month, watch your email and our social media sites for details on anniversary contests, giveaways, and unique opportunities to learn more about Guardian Angels and the impact of your donations.

Together, we can make 2025 our biggest and best year yet!
