The Alliance of Therapy Dogs will be bringing some of their furry friends to the store for a meet and greet session!No appointments necessary - drop in, pet some dogs and ask the owners any questions you may have about them!
People of all ages can benefit from the soothing and non-judgmental presence of these gentle creatures. Studies show interacting with therapy dogs can have a variety of benefits for autistic children and adults, including:
Encouraging communication
Increasing feelings of emotional wellbeing
Increasing engagement
Desensitizing fears
