Therapy Dogs
Dog therapy programs involve volunteer animals and their handlers coming to spend time with elderly people in hospitals and nursing homes. When a therapy dog visits, the seniors might feed, pet, groom, walk, or play with the animal.
Animal therapy for seniors, is a technique that uses animals to interact with seniors to improve their health and quality of life overall. Studies show that 15 minutes with a trained dog, can increase brain activity and serotonin levels. We have chosen an NPO called Angel Paws Therapy Dogs, and any donation towards the dogs would be greatly appreciated. Their donation details are: Angel Paws, Standard Bank, Branch code 051001, Account No 10169579083.
