Dolly, an Aussie  (Australian Shepard) was born in April of 2017. In her early years, Dolly worked as a trail dog and competed in agility trials. In her later years, Dolly entered the world of Animal Assisted Interventions, participating in OT, PT, and recreational therapy.  In all actually, this girl just loves being the center of attention. 

Early in her life, Ms. Domino started  to visit  sick children at hospitals and,  most recently, college students for exams to help destress them.  She is pictured in the newspaper article about the program with PPA and Dupre Library.   She and her sisters were  asked to raise awareness of children eating more vegetables and greens at Easter.  They turned the idea of sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap to take pictures inside out.  These chocolate Easter  Bunnies would sit on the childrens' laps to take pictures.  Taking rides and walking on the Lakefront is good, but what Ms. Bunny really likes to accomplish, like her brothers do, is to climb up the big oak trees.

Joy Belle is a 2-year-old Havanese from New Iberia, Louisiana who successfully completed all behavior training classes, including becoming a Canine Good Citizen.  She loves people of all ages and enjoys being petted and having belly rubs.  Joy Belle became a therapy dog in June of 2021. She is looking forward to bringing "joy" to others as she volunteers.  After all, her name Joy Belle stands for Jesus Overflowing in You.

When Joy Belle is not training or practicing, she enjoys chasing squirrels, riding in the car, going on walks in the park, and playing with her younger Havanese brothers, Jefferson and Jackson.  Joy Belle also loves to share with her brothers when special “doggie” packages arrive at the door.
