Snuggle with Aimie, a certified therapy dog. Her handler can tell you all about the benefits therapy dogs can have on the humans with which they interact.
Research shows that therapy pets can help people to raise their spirits. The increased socialization can also help people to forget (even if it is only for a moment) pain, sadness, or loneliness that they may be experiencing. Therapy pet visits can help improve someone's overall mood--which can lead to increased motivation. Aimie's handler, Janet Kuebler of Right At Home Elder Care Services, is a Certified Senior Advisor and Certified Dementia Practitioner. This program is geared toward our seniors but all are welcome to attend.
