In 2015, our Family Court therapy dog program was created in conjunction with The Honorable Judge John Trucilla's Family and Orphans Court Division and The Erie County Office of Children and Youth. As part of this ground-breaking program, a certified therapy dog team is invited to the Erie County Courthouse on Mondays and Wednesdays to benefit Erie County children facing a dependency hearing in Family Court.

In 2019, this program expanded to include Veteran's Treatment Court, and the courtrooms of Judge Erin C. Connelly Marucci, Erie County Court of Common Pleas; and Judge Marshall Piccininni, Erie County Court of Common Pleas.

How Our Therapy Dogs Help?
Studies prove a certified therapy dog can provide comfort and support during a child's legal hearing by helping the child to relax and better focus. Our team of certified therapy dogs are used to help provide a calming presence by alleviating much of the trauma and stress associated with a dependent child's court appearance. The ultimate goal of our Courthouse Comfort Canine program is to help families and guardians remain calm which can oftentimes help get the best testimony from the participating child.

You can help support our Courthouse Canine Program in Erie County by donating to Therapy Dogs United on Erie Gives Day - August 9, 2022 from 8:00am-8:00pm! Donations from Erie Gives will be used to continue to improve our community programs like this one!

Field trip Friday! Volunteer hours for these students and extra love and exploring time for some lucky pets!

Our Edinboro trail is a great place to run dogs and relax in nature. We hope to have more trail walks throughout the year so keep us in mind when we post it on Facebook.

After our walk, we painted rocks that will be used on a woodland scavenger hunt starting in a few weeks. Details in upcoming posts.

We took a mini field trip to animal shelter today so our employees saw first-hand how the shelter operates and some history behind both the dog and cat centers.

Right now, they have 34 kittens in the kitten room along with their adult cats, their FeLV + FIV cats that are in separate rooms and their special care room where some cats are getting certain medical care/treatment.

We saw Rico, Mongo and Lindy while visiting and they are all doing really well. Rico has come out of his shell so much more and we think it's bc his tummy feels much better.

We even got to head over to the dog center to take a quick tour of the facility and give some pets to big and small doggos.

If you are ever interested in checking out the center - we highly suggest it! The centers hours are posted on their website.

They are always looking for foster homes to help with their mission of saving animals.

What is Pftgl about? Connection to nature, relationships,healthy living, service to others but mostly it’s about love. Love for all living things and that includes people, too!

I find peace in the woods. The trees surround my soul and God feels close at hand.

Dog field trip to Edinboro woodland trail (Paws for the Woods Life) this Friday August 5th at 1 p m for a 1 hour leash or off lead walk. Message me or call 814 476 3003 to let me know if you can join us. The location is right beside General Mclane middle school.

It’s a nice easy loop but there are a few muddy spots.

Happy Gotcha day to Millie and 2 year anniversary as a Pftgl pack member. Your joy of life is contagious! We are so glad you are here.
