Dogs Are Good Medicine
We are a dedicated group of volunteer dog handlers and our incredible canine companions, united by one simple goal, to spread love, joy, and comfort wherever it is needed most. Each of our volunteers goes through a thorough process of training and evaluation to ensure they are prepared to provide safe, compassionate, and meaningful therapy visits.
Dogs can support both mental and physical health, including cardiovascular health, pain management, immune system functioning, and social interaction. They can also encourage learning, empathy, positive behavior, and stronger interpersonal connections.
Spending time with dogs can help lower heart rate and blood pressure while reducing feelings of fear, anxiety, and aggression. Their companionship and calming presence can create a more positive and supportive environment.
