C.A.T. Dogs Make Therapy Special for Participants of Ann Storck Center

We mourn the loss of a wonderful C.A.T. Dog

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Earl, Certified C.A.T. Dog, crossed over Rainbow Bridge. Earl was a wonderful and fun loving dog that brought a tremendous amount of joy to everyone that he met. Earl encouraged laughter and fun when he entered a room. His favorite thing to do was to sit on the sofa, legs crossed, and socialize with the residents of the facilities that he visited.

Earl will be sorely missed and our heart goes out to his owners Helene and Sharon.

Certified C.A.T. Dogs Make Reading Fun for Children

The Pack Reader Program is just one of the many programs that is offered by Canine Assisted Therapy. Pack Readers has proven to help children with reading fluency, comprehension and self esteem.

Thank you to Anna Sokoloff and Cosmo for doing such a wonderful job. Thank you to all of our volunteer teams who are working so hard to make a difference in the lives of children, adults, the elderly and the physically challenged.
