Mateo Earns AKC Therapy Dog Excellent Title 🏆
At just two-and-a-half years old, Mateo Sacks is already making his mark. Mateo has earned his AKC Therapy Dog Excellent Title after completing over 200 therapy visits, bringing comfort, smiles, and companionship to so many along the way.
Mateo is the therapy partner of Heather Sacks, Pets on Wheels Coordinator and Board Member, and is proudly continuing a very special legacy. He follows in the paw-steps of Skyler, Heather’s beloved Pomeranian therapy dog, whose impact inspired the creation of the Skyler Sacks Service Award, an annual honor recognizing the therapy team with the most volunteer hours.
Skyler’s legacy was built on extraordinary dedication, with over 500 volunteer hours each year. Now, Mateo is carrying that spirit forward in his own way — one visit at a time.
With such an impressive start (and well-earned breaks along the way!), Mateo’s future in therapy work is bright.
