Would YOU like to Make a Difference by Donating
to our Therapy Dog Program?
One of the greatest problems that seniors in long-term care homes face today is crippling loneliness. These seniors are mostly elderly shut-ins - they rarely receive visits or social calls. Loneliness puts seniors at risk for conditions such as depression, anxiety, dementia and flu through a weakened immune system. Therapy dogs can help provide emotional support as well as a sense of social security. They can help facilitate relationships and encourage conversations with others. A visit from a therapy dog can give seniors a sense of belonging as well as give them something to talk about. Seniors may be able to take the therapy dog out for a walk and also help feed it small treats to give them a sense of purpose in their day. This can provide comfort and allow a senior to feel involved when spending time with a friendly animal.​​
​Can you help our therapy dogs support the elderly? Your gift will allow the dogs to receive proper training, become certified to work and get the medical care they need.

Every gift, no matter the size, has a real impact on our ability to sustain a strong program that helps people in need. It also provides us with opportunities to reconnect the vulnerable to the community and give them a sense of belonging and real hope for the future.​
