Pawsitive Friendships

There have been some great personalities visiting Desert Trails Elementary School - PVSchools! 🐾

Students enjoyed the sweet company of Winnie the Golden Retriever and Mabel the Goldendoodle. They also got to meet Scout the Boxer during his very first visit! Scout brought tons of puppy energy, and students did an awesome job taking turns throwing the ball for him while practicing their participation skills. 💙🐶

Staff at Peckham Inc. have been enjoying some well-deserved decompression time with some Therapy Pets! 🐾💙

Libby, Dotty, Leo, and Rio have all stopped by, giving staff a chance to step away from their workday for a bit, unwind, and enjoy the unconditional love that pets have to offer.

We’re glad our Therapy Teams could give the staff a little time to recharge! 🐶

There have been some familiar faces stopping by Red Oak Autism Academy for Pet Therapy! 🐾💙

Students have had visits with Cody, Lucky, and Roxy, getting time with each therapy pet throughout their recent sessions. 🫶🙌

We're happy to be spending another school year with the students at Red Oak! 🐶

Scout the Goldendoodle stopped by to visit individuals in the STARS AZ Community-Based Employment Program. 💙

After their workday, the group spent time getting to know Scout while learning about volunteerism, therapy dogs, and the role service dogs play. It was a great afternoon, and we appreciated the opportunity to meet such a hardworking group. 🐶
