We would like to thank Dawn Foley who was trained by Dog B.O.N.E.S therapy, for volunteering her time to offer her therapy dog service this past month! Dawn and her two therapy dogs (Daisy, a 12 year old King Charles Cavalier) and (Callie, a 14 month cocker spaniel) joined us during Quiet Zone, while also visiting the kids in the gym who were interested! Dawn will be joining us hopefully once a month! The kids, staff and volunteers loved having them here! For more photo’s visit our Facebook page here!
Recently, the Milford Youth Center received a grant through the Greater Milford Community Health Network to support a comfort dog pilot program & Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) for youths! While the therapist and dogs are being trained, in collaboration with Community Impact Inc., the Center was able to begin the initial phase of the project by introducing dogs who are already trained into the After School Program, thanks to Dawn!
