🐾 with Daisy! 🐾

For therapy dog Daisy, volunteering during Sensory Friendly Hours at Conner Prairie is the perfect Sunday morning outing. She doesn’t really care where she goes, she just loves people! And according to her handler, Joy, the feeling is definitely mutual. 💛

“They bring her joy and she brings them joy, which brings me so much joy!” Joy shared. “It feels like such a gift in life to get to experience this with her. I wish everyone could!”

One of Daisy’s most special gifts is helping people feel more comfortable around dogs. During a recent visit, Daisy met several children whose parents shared that they are usually afraid of dogs. With Daisy by their side, they were able to have a positive experience with a dog, and those small moments meant so much to Joy.

Daisy has a way of bringing happiness wherever she goes, but stories like this remind us that the impact of a therapy dog can be so much more than a wagging tail or a friendly hello. Sometimes, one gentle interaction can help someone overcome a fear and create a brand-new positive experience. 🐶💕

We’re so grateful to Joy and Daisy for sharing their time, kindness, and Daisy’s joyful spirit with our community. We’re celebrating 25 years of stories like theirs at our 25th Anniversary Tails of Celebration on September 25! 🐾🎉

A little creativity, a lot of teamwork, and some very happy dogs! 🐾

Butler University’s Ambassadors for Change students recently joined us for a hands-on service project, creating snuffle mats for our youth-canine dogs. These enrichment toys will give our pups a fun way to put their noses to work!

Thank you to the Ambassadors for Change students for spending time with us and helping make a difference, one snuffle mat at a time! 💙💛
