Therapy Program
Therapy dogs are family pets that have been training with their owner to go into a variety of venues: schools, nursing homes, hospice, and senior centers. A therapy dog's presence and availability to be pet by children, seniors, the hospitalized, etc., produces a calming response. This can lower anxiety, lower blood pressure, lower physical pain, improve cardiovascular health, and the list goes on.
