About Us

​

My name is Gem Skyes Domination ~ Domi for short.  I am a miniature Pinto, measuring 32.5 inches at the shoulder.  I am 13 years old.  
I began my life as a show horse, traveling throughout Oregon and Washington and even attending the world show in Oklahoma.  After a successful show career, I retired to become a mom.  I have had four foals, all of which have done well for themselves in the show ring, with one becoming a world champion jumper!  I am so proud of him!
A few years ago, my mom received a call from someone looking to buy a mini for pet therapy.  While I was not for sale, my owner felt this was an opportunity too good to pass up so I was offered for sale.  My current owner did not pass the chance to bring me home!
As soon as I arrived, upon getting settled, I embarked on a long training process.  My owner needed to be sure I could handle anything I might encounter.  
I am now busy visiting everywhere including nursing homes and hospitals, private residences by special request and special private events.  I am sure I have had my picture taken thousands and thousands of times so far.  I work hard but I love what I do, and I am always glad to see a bucket of goodies waiting for me when we arrive home!

• Baxter

My name is Baxter.  I am a 6 year old miniature horse and am only 26 inches tall at the shoulder.  My owner says I am the smallest horse he has ever seen, and he has seen a lot of horses!
I was born in Spokane, WA and was living out in a big pasture with lots of other little horses.  My owner got a call from a guy looking to buy a mini for pet therapy.  A couple of horses were discussed, or so I have been told; but, there was something about me that peeked his interest.  Not sure what it could have been, as I was a bit of a mess in the beginning, not even being lead broke yet!
None the less, I came to live at my new home.  I was very lonely at first but quickly realized that if I paid attention and worked hard, I would get lots of treats and attention.  I found out it was fun to have a job to do and I enjoyed feeling needed and valued.  I had a lot to learn, as I had not had any training prior to coming to TripleB.  I fought at times, as it was all new to me, but eventually realized that even though new things were scary sometimes, my owner would not let anything happen to me and I could have a lot of fun.
I worked very hard, and listened when I needed to, and I learned a lot.  Now I'm full trained to do pet therapy I am very proud of myself.  
I prefer quieter environments, such as nursing homes, but also visit hospitals, 911 call centers and correctional facilities, because I know I am needed.  
 

• Streaker

Hey!  Don’t forget about me!  My name is Honeydews Winning Streak, or Streaker for short!  I am just a baby ~ I was two years old in April of 2018.  I just came to Triple B in late summer of 2017.
I was born on a beautiful horse farm in Sultan, WA.  A wonderful woman there, named Joni, was my human mama.  She also was the one that owned Domi, before she came here.  She paved the way for me.
Joni wanted to do what Brian does.  She had great plans for me.  She started me very early, from day one.  I worked very hard and was even doing a couple of local events when I was not even a year old! However, Joni realized that Brian and the team at Triple B Foundation for Pet Therapy could do so much more with me. Therefore, it was decided I would come join the Triple B team.
Baxter showed me all there was to see and do around my new home. My humans got me fully trained and in shape for pet therapy.  They must love me, as I get lots of hugs, face rubs and attention!
Now that I'm fully trained, I visit nursing homes, hospitals, 911 call centers and correctional facilities. If you confuse me with Domi that is ok, we are both beautiful and we are both the same color.  As long as you come love on me, it is ok!

• Blake

Hi!  My name is Blake.  I am a French Bulldog born in 2010.  I am the one that started it all.  I came from a show kennel in Minnesota.
My owners tell me they always wanted to do pet therapy, but never had a dog with the right temperament.  Not until I came along!  As the story goes, they knew immediately that I was destined for great things.  I came home to be with them when I was six months old and we lived in Nashville, TN.
I worked VERY hard and, shortly after my first birthday, I was fully trained to do pet therapy.
We immediately began to visit nursing homes, a rehabilitation hospital and an inpatient geriatric unit.  I loved my job and loved all the attention.  I soon received a call stating my services were needed at an inpatient hospice facility.  I had never done that before so I was not quite sure what to expect.  None the less, I wanted to try.
Hospice work was my favorite.  I loved to get in bed with them, rest my head in their lap and let them love on me.  I heard lots of stories about dogs from their past.  That made me feel very important!  I must have been good at what I did because I won the President’s Volunteer Service Award from President Obama two years in a row for my hospice work.  I can’t begin to tell you how honored I was, and my owners were too!
I am now retired.  I needed to slow down so the mini horses have taken center stage.  None the less, I am always here on the ranch keeping everyone in line.
