We're feeling pretty proud of Neeko today!

This sweet girl was recently featured as the West End Phoenix Pet of the Month, and after reading her story, it's easy to see why.

Along with her handler Garry, Neeko spends her time bringing comfort, connection, and plenty of smiles to people who need them most. Whether she's visiting a detention centre or simply offering a quiet moment of companionship, she's a wonderful example of the impact therapy dogs can have.

A huge thank you to Neeko, Garry, and all of our volunteer teams who share their time, their hearts, and their dogs with our community. ☀️

Way to go, Neeko! Click the link in our bio to read the full article.

One year of sunshine in Peterborough!

Today, we're celebrating the 1-year anniversary of our Peterborough branch and the incredible volunteers, therapy dogs, partners, and community members who have helped us bring calm, connection, and smiles to so many people.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to another year of making a difference, one visit at a time 💛

Our hearts are so full 💛

We’re always grateful for the time we get to spend with the amazing people and places we visit...but the sweet notes, handmade drawings, custom ID badges, and treats we receive for our dogs? Those thoughtful gestures mean so much to us!

Thank you for sharing your kindness with our volunteer teams and therapy dogs. These moments remind us how powerful a little comfort and connection can be.

Thank you for welcoming our volunteer teams with so much warmth and care. We're so lucky to do this with you!

This National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’re grateful for our handlers - the ones behind the leash who give their time, their care, and their heart so others can feel a little less alone.

Your presence matters more than you know. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

Yes - therapy dogs really do love what they do! 💛
Research shows that well-selected, well-supported therapy dogs are relaxed, happy, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people.
At Sunshine Therapy Dogs, we follow their lead, always.
