Emmy
Hello, I'm Emmy, the Great Dane. I may be big, but I'm as gentle as can be. I love kids and giving big dog kisses! I go to school each day with my Mom and help her with her students. I enjoy listening to my friends read to me, especially when the stories are about dogs!! I love treats, hugs, and squeaky toys are my favorite! I can't wait to meet you!

Annie
Annie is an Icelandic Sheepdog. They are sometimes called "Icies" but there is nothing cold about this loveable dog.

Ruby
Ruby is a purebred "Keeper". This little gem loves to cuddle and is always up for belly rubs.

Todd
I was born in Florida. When I was 4 years old, I came to Michigan to live with my awesome forever family. I love to be petted, really loved to be petted almost to the point that it is annoying. My family decided I need to be a therapy dog so others can help pet me. I specialize in the elderly population. Those older folks just light up when they see me. I am not a fan of toys. I just don’t understand the fascination with a squeaky toy but give me a squirrel to chase or a car ride and I am a happy dog. I also love to lay in the sunshine. You can find me on a 90 degree day laying on the hot driveway cement soaking it in (remember I am a Florida native).

Iron
Iron's love of the Frisbee is right up there with steak! If you have his Frisbee, he will run, jump, flip, twirl, freeze and take a bow every time.
Iron's boy named him after his favorite superhero Ironman. Iron wakes his boy up every morning with kisses, and then he takes his blankets and howls to the sweet tune of "I love you too." The two of them are like cheese and bacon.

Sutton
Sutton is a 2 year old Mini Bernadoodle. He gained the title of "circus dog" in class for is overly friendly puppy personality. He loves to travel and has been to Nashville, South Carolina, Ohio, MI and Pennsylvania. He loves toys that make noise and stuffed animals. He is now certified with his amateur trick dog certification and mainly uses his therapy dog certification for mental health and senior center visits. He loves his treats and naps and has been a great addition to our family!

Stella
Stella is a 3 year old golden retriever that enjoys volunteering at her local hospital. She specializes in bringing the hospital staff smiles, although she does visit patient rooms from time to time. When she’s not working hard as a Therapy Dog, you can find her wrestling her dog brother (2 year old golden retriever) or retrieving a tennis ball. Her favorite hobby is swimming. She is the sweetest girl and often gives human-like facial expressions when spoken to. Truly a one of a kind good girl.

Winter
Winter is a Coton de Tulear, originally a dog of royalty from Madagascar. We celebrated his 3rd birthday on October 23rd. He loves playing with toys and visiting seniors. He is a gentle, cuddly, cotton ball who’s purpose in life is bringing smiles to all who spend time with him.

Winnie
Winnie is a golden retriever with lots of energy and lots of love to give. She enjoys making new friends and meeting new people (especially when they pet her!). Her favorite treat is peanut butter on a lick mat or a frozen carrot. Don’t let her size fool you – she thinks she’s a lap dog and will make herself comfortable on your lap. Winnie likes going to the dog park early in the morning with dad to run around and play fetch with her ball (sometimes if she can’t find her ball, she’ll find a nice stick for you). She loves going to the beach to chase the waves and swim around with mom. When the clock strikes 10 pm, it’s bedtime and she's ready for snuggles in bed with mom.

Romulus
Meet Romulus, the four-legged furry therapist who's always ready to brighten your day with his squishable body! Every morning, Rom likes to show off big branches he finds on his walks to the birds singing in the trees outside. But don't be fooled by his playful nature - when it comes to work, Romulus means business - he loves to sit and get pets from all the wonderful people he meets, and he gives the sloppiest kisses in return. When he's not working, you can find him getting zoomies in the soccer field near his home and kicking around his soccer ball because soccer is his favorite sport. Whether you're feeling blue or just need a pick-me-up, Romulus is the therapy dog you need in your life!
