Tell us something about your partner that we may not know.
- I rescued Bonnie from the ADL when she was 13 months old. Bonnie had previously been rescued and returned to the ADL
after spending almost all of her life with her first
family. She had been returned to the shelter because the
first owners were divorcing.
What Therapy Animals leadership position(s) do you currently have?
- None.
What other leadership positions have you had?
- None.
Tell us something about yourself that we may not know. - I
was visited by a therapy dog team while spending almost 3
weeks in the hospital. This visit really inspired me and
motivated me to get healthy enough to go home and finish my
recovery near my dogs. After the therapy team visit, I
decided to someday have a therapy dog so that I could help
hospital patients.
