Therapy Dog Donation Series Post #4!
We donated our fourth doggie care package to support Murphy & his handler in Gowanda Central School District’s therapy dog program!
The therapy dog program launched halfway through the 2021 school year. Panther students across the district were adapting to a post-pandemic world both in & out of the classroom, and the challenges were taking a mental toll. Thus came the therapy dog program. Fast forwarding to today, the program is thriving with dog coverage across the district for both student & faculty mental support.
Murphy, a part of the original therapy dog trio, is a yellow lab at the middle school. His daily routine starts with greeting Panther students & faculty throughout the hallways. Then, he visits classrooms to provide a paw with activities and assignments. Outside of school, Murphy loves playing catch!
We were thrilled to support Murphy with a doggie care package of toys & treats! Extra tennis balls were included as a necessity. Special thanks to Just Pets for their continued collaboration in this series!
