When the therapy dogs bring the love, and the staff brings the flair! 😎🐾🌽

Meet therapy dog Lady Belle 🐾— She is a very sweet 5 year old Cavalier King Charles, Lady Belle and her mom Beverly got certified as a PetTherapy Team with our organization in January of 2022.

They volunteer part of the year in South Florida, where they provide therapeutic interactions and comfort to the residents at The Peninsula Assisted Living & Memory Care in Hollywood on a regular basis. When they go back to their home in Massachusetts they visit The Dennis Center for Active Living at least twice a month.

In Beverly's words: "The minute Belle walks through the door, the residents greet her with genuine smiles on their faces calling her name. You know immediately that you've brightened their day. Belle loves people and is very obliging. With tail wagging non-stop, she scampers to each person and they respond with oohs and ahhs making comments such as “I love you, Belle” or “Look how she runs to ME”. It's definitely a mutual admiration society!"

If you are in South Florida and would like your dog to get certified as a therapy dog with our organization, like Lady Belle, to help improve the lives of those in need, register for our next online orientation by clicking on the following link:
