Zelda, now retired, and Sophie have met the Pet Partner® Standards that demonstrate they can visit hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers that allow animal visits. For more information about Pet Partners visit www.deltasociety.org.
Zelda, a ten year old black and silver miniature schnauzer, brought comfort, peace and calm to patients for six years in In-Patient Rehabilitation through Providence St. Peter's Animal Assisted/Therapy Program (PAAA/T).
Sophie is a two year old Maltese/Lhasa Apso cross in the first year of her career as a PAAA/T team Member. She volunteers in In-Patient Rehabilitation and works with Therapists to help patients regain movement, strength, and endurance. Sophie also makes on-call visits at Providence Hospital in Olympia.
She provides smiles, tension release, and puppy love to patients, family members, and staff.
Chloe, a two year old Lhaso-Apso, is not a working dog, but she deeply appreciates being held. She shows her gratitude by completely relaxing into the person holding her.
