Meet Aspen, a Great Pyrenees/Retriever and the newest member of our team! Aspen, who has been coming to work with her handler, abd our Executive Director, since she was just a 9 weeks old pup! Now 8 months old, she adores both people and dog treats!
Introducing Aspen to our program will afford our clients so much more than other traditional modalities.Therapy Dogs create a healing and nurturing environment for those impacted by violence. Some benefits recognized are:
In addition to supporting clients, Aspen will be engaging the general public and education children (and adults) through our anti-violence campagine "Paws Off!" Visiting schools and attending community events, Aspen will carry the positive message of mutual respect and compassion for others.
We are very excited to see how the addition of a Therapy Dog will benefit our clients and our community!
