Pets on Wheels Volunteer Dogs typically become eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame if they have completed a minimum of 250 visits. This milestone recognizes the dedication and commitment of these volunteer dogs and their human companions to ongoing service and their significant contributions to the community.
Volunteer Dogs with fewer than 250 visits may be inducted due to special circumstances, upon determination by the President of Pets on Wheels. Dogs are inducted only after retirement or after crossing the Rainbow Bridge.
Hall of Fame Dogs represent our most faithful volunteers.
