Therapy Dog Sophie
Sophie is 2 1/2 year and got her CGC at 5 months old. I’m a retired PT that worked in geriatrics and have been taking her for visits in SNFs I used to work in. At 7 months, she was certified as a therapy dog with an organization called Furry Friends and has been making visits through them to schools and hospitals. Sophie loves people, especially the little ones! She’s just bubbling with personality. I’ve had dogs all my life and not had a dog like her. She’s really missing the human contact and I’m not at all sure how a video visit would go however we’re more than willing to give it a whirl
