When a single mother made the courageous decision to enter a rehabilitation program and begin her journey of healing, one worry threatened to hold her back — who would care for her beloved dog during her absence?

That’s when Top Dog USA in Boonville, Missouri stepped forward with compassion and professionalism. Without hesitation, Heather and her team welcomed this woman’s furry companion into their care, offering not just a safe place, but love, consistency, and peace of mind during a deeply vulnerable time.

The peace she felt knowing her pet was in good hands gave her the confidence to take the next faithful step in her recovery. She felt supported, seen, and valued — not just by an organization, but by a community.

Top Dog USA became the hands and feet of Jesus, and their generosity became a ripple of hope that will echo into eternity. We are honored to feature them as the very first small business to fulfill a need through The Body of Christ – Missouri. Their example sets a high bar of what it means to show up in love and service.

But above all, this moment was orchestrated by God — a divine connection that reminds us that ministry isn’t always loud or flashy. Sometimes, it’s as simple as saying yes to a need, yes to love, and yes to obedience.

"His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!’" – Matthew 25:23
