Sharing affection with a pet can help during your child’s recovery process by lowering blood pressure and enhancing mood and self-esteem. At Hemby, we bring certified pet therapy dogs to visit three times every week. You can pet a large dog, or cuddle a smaller dog in your bed to enjoy the comfort, encouragement and acceptance that animals bring.
For more information about pet therapy or to learn about the certification process for your dog, contact volunteer services at 704-384-4854.
