Joey's Tale

We adopted Joey last October and he quickly fit in with our two other small dogs. His happy, outgoing temperament gave us the idea to share his charm with others so we began obedience classes in preparation for becoming a therapy dog. In August, Joey passed an evaluation conducted by Therapy Dog International and is now a registered therapy dog.

Since then, we have been visiting a local senior residential facility twice a week. Upon entering the lobby, Joey eagerly begins greeting individuals with his bright eyes and wagging tail. Occasionally a resident he hasn't previously met walks down the hall and he'll lead me over so he can say hi. He is definitely a charmer and warms the heart of those who meet him.

Attached is a photo of Joey in his official therapy dog bandana and tag, ready to go to work. Many thanks to PUP for our happy little dog who brings happiness and smiles to us and others.
