These teams just finished a pet therapy assignment and gathered for a group picture.  How about those dogs?  They were experts at bringing comfort and joy at this location.

Our R.E.A.D. teams have just concluded 4 weeks of Summer School pet therapy at the Mayville Middle School.  We were able to schedule 13 1st grade students and 19 2nd grade students to read to our dogs.  Thanks to the following dogs and their handlers:

Gracie

Betty Boop

Deja Vu

Camper

Oreo

Molly

The list of facilities that would like to benefit from Pet Therapy/Enrichment is growing. We are looking for new trained teams to meet the demand.  We have added Katie and her boxer, CiCi to our group.  They are ready for pet therapy.  However, we still need interested people who have wonderful dogs and some extra time to consider becoming a Pet Therapy Team.  For more information of what is involved, visit http://www.therapyanimals.org or look through this website for articles and photos of training, evaluations and the great fun we have with our special BARCC pets!
