Join us as we caravan from Kruger Animal Hospital to the parking lots of nursing homes, including Villa of Holly Brook and Westminster, as we share our puppy love and the benefits of the animal-human bond.
Residents will come to the window and enjoy a socially distant view of our Four Legged Healing family as we throw a community car parade and pass by! If weather permits, we’ll get out and go for a walk so they can get a good look and experience their own four-legged healing!
We'll be going by car, so if you have a pup you want to take for a ride -- join in! Pick up your red balloon at Kruger and get in the congo line! :)
