Therapy/R.E.A.D.

Share a Smile! A nursing home visit means a lot to those who live there – giving love and pats to a dog brightens their lives.

Your Therapy animal can help comfort, encourage and motivate adults and children in many different settings. After completing training, you can test to become Delta Society Registered!

Therapy animals come in all sizes and breeds—dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, even mini horses! The most important characteristic of a Therapy animal is temperament. A good Therapy prospect is friendly, gentle, patient, and confident.

R.E.A.D.

If you wish, progress to the Reading Education Assistance Dogs by attending a seminar at Paws Inn. Reading to dogs is FUN, but more than that, it improves confidence and comprehension.
