#therapydogthursday Last week, our therapy dogs visited the San Mateo County Health staff during their lunch hour, as part of the county's Wellness Program. 🤗 With wagging tails and a warm welcome, we made sure our dogs put smiles on the staff's faces and provided an abundance of cuddles. 🥰 Our #therapydogs are pets that accompanies their owner into specific settings for the benefit of the residents or clients in the setting and/or as part of a therapeutic intervention. And, our handlers are all #volunteers, committed to making a difference in their communities. All Canine Companions dogs receive extensive temperamental and medical evaluations, and dogs selected for this program must be approved by our expert staff in both our national veterinary and training departments. Thank you to our volunteer #therapydog handlers for making an impact! 🐾 Link in bio to learn more about our therapy dog program, or visit canine.org/therapydogs. 📷 sanmateocounty . . . . #GlobalVolunteerMonth...
