About the Program

We partner with Therapy Dogs of Vermont and Caring Animal Partners to bring certified therapy dogs to campus to visit with students. Throughout the term, students get to hang out with Rosie, a sweet and gentle Goldendoodle, and Poppy, an adorable Golden Retriever, who love nothing more than spending quality time being pet by students! 

If you're interested in bringing a certified therapy dog to your on-campus event, we recommend you contact Therapy Dogs of Vermont directly.
