Hi, I’m Boomer, the Therapy Dog!
Boomer loves meeting new people. He likes to help create a safe, happy and fun space for anyone who would like to be friends with him. Boomer knows that talking about emotions can be tricky sometimes, so he likes to make sessions as comfortable as possible through his non-judgemental nature, love of pats and goofy personality.
Hi, I’m Splash! I’m not so furry!
Meet Splash, the goldfish and his friends. Splash and his friends may look like ordinary fish but they have superpowers that help them know how to “just keep swimming” through life’s challenges. Splash is always more than happy to show you how you can use your superpowers to do the same.
