On Thursday, October 10, 2019, the Holistic Recovery Center had our puppies brought in for a fun and amazing puppy therapy session with their patients!
At the center, our puppies were held, cuddled, and played with by the patients. Our team members also answered any questions, and ensured that both puppies and patients felt comfortable during the session.
It may not seem like a lot, but puppy therapy can help patients with various conditions, including addiction. The Holistic Recovery Center does everything they can to provide individuals that suffer from addiction with the activities they need to improve their lives. Activities like puppy therapy allow patients to feel better about their self-esteem and deal with their struggles.
We’re more than happy to provide this kind of support to these individuals. Our goal will continue to be to enrich our community through our puppies. Puppies never discriminate who we are; they’re always by our side as loyal friends. When we see how much our furry cuties help out others just by being around them, we know we’re doing our job right!
In the case of the Holistic Center, we are honored to have been invited for puppy therapy again. To us, there’s nothing better than lending a helping hand to those who need it. We hope our puppies bring some sunshine into the lives of the patients at the center, and that they recover soon!
Thank you to the Holistic Recovery Center for a great afternoon—we look forward to visiting again soon!
