Here is one of Mo-Kan’s therapy animals, Mo, getting a tummy rub from one of the staff members at Benedictine Living Community in St. Joseph. Ro, Joker, Elaine and Mo will visit the facility often spending time with the patients there, but also get some quality time in the hallways with the nursing staff and other employees. 🥰

On June 23rd, Mo and Joker helped relieve stress and provided a pawsitive boost at Excelsior Springs Job Corp Center. The students loved learning stress-relief skills through pet therapy and left with nothing but good vibes and wagging energy.
