Animal Assisted Therapy
I have been working with canines in the office since 1999 and am a firm believer of the effects of canines on improving mood and helping to create a more relaxing environment. My dog, Leah, is usually present in the office to help bring a smile. Moshie worked in the office from 2009 until his unexpected passing in December of 2019. He will be greatly missed by all, however Leah will be there faithfully to replace him as Moshie did when Shanie passed in 2011.
