Hula & Puppy Purton
Hula – Therapy & First Responder Dog
Hulu has a big heart and calm paw, visiting hospitals, schools, and first responders to bring comfort wherever she goes. When she’s not spreading joy, she’s supervising library stacks and making sure every book is sniff-approved. Hula knows a good story when she sees one – and she’s not affraid to give it a little tail-wag of approval.
Puppy Purton – Canine Companions Trainee
Puppy Purtin is training hard to become a service dog. Curious, playful, and clever, she’s learning the ropes of helping people and being a gentle, reliable companion. As a guest librarian, Purton loves jumping into new adventures – especially ones involving books, treats, and a cozy reading corner. She’s on a mission to grow up smart, strong, and paws-itively helpful!
