Registered Therapy Dog, Manny also is a highly valued members of the Wellness Center team - some might say he is the most important member! In addition to unconditional love and acceptance, he provides a great deal of comic relief and no-cost vacuuming services!
One of our original therapy dogs, Archie, now is retired . It is with great sorrow that we share that Archie's teammate and exceptional therapy dog, Louie, passed away in October 2020. He positively impacted many lives and will always be in our hearts.
