Call-out for therapy dog volunteers
Do you have a dog you’re hoping has a future as a therapy animal? Does your dog already know basic obedience commands?
This program supports student wellness by providing them an opportunity to interact with registered therapy dogs during school or extracurricular activities. These student-dog interactions can reduce stress, enhance social interactions, provide motivation for learning, and bring joy and comfort.
