Look who paid us a visit!! Pat and Zofie, EBDS Alumni stopped by to talk to our Beyond the Basics class about READ of the Gulf Coast - Serving Escambia & Santa Rosa Counties 📖 🐾

This is a program where certified therapy dog teams visit schools and libraries to help kids with reading. It is such an amazing program with a profound impact. They are looking to recruit more handlers and dogs to expand their reach and help more kids.

If you are interested in Therapy Dog work, we are planning to start our next class in May. We strongly encourage participants to attend our Beyond the Basics prior to the class to make sure they are fully prepared and can be even more successful as a Therapy Dog team.

If you want to be added to the waitlist to our next Therapy Dog class, please reach out so we can get you added and you can be the first to know when our class is open for registration 🐾

There is a READ Dog under that book! Several young people took turns reading Troy Cummings' great Arfy book. The coolest thing about the Arfy series is that each of us can find someone who looks like us (even Zofie!).
