We're sad to share that sweet goldendoodle Rosie, who had been visiting our office since our opening days in the Berry library in 2023, passed away over Spring Break, 2026. She loved being with the Dartmouth Community. 

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 Poppy, an adorable Golden Retriever, who love nothing more than spending quality time being pet by students! Ellie, an energetic Golden Retriever, visits students out in Reiss Hall (Blobby) of Baker Library. Creek, a loveable Mastiff with a bit of Golden Retriever mix, is beginning visits with us in the SWC this term on Thursdays.

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