Therapy & Assistance Dogs

Shelly passed her Delta Therapy dog certification test on 5-16-2010 at only 14 months old!!! We are very proud of her. Shelly is also doing very well in agility.

Hi Pat, Here is a picture of Shelly in her Delta scarf and name badge. We leave for Cape Cod Tues. We are all very excited. It will be so special for special and I to be recognized as I talk and she demonstrates the miracles of animal assisted therapy and the human-animal bond. Take care, Theresa, Mike and Shelly

5-16-2010 Well Pat, Our Shelly passed her Delta Therapy Dog exam today in Indianapolis. She copped an attitude for a bit because she just refused to lay down, but eventually with my pleading voice, she laid down. She does that all the time on command, she just didn't want to today. The evaluator knew Mike and I because we had tested with her before with three of our shepherds. She gave me some helpful suggestions that I will follow up on. But none the less she PASSED! I have to get the paperwork together and send it in.

12-1-09 Hi Pat, Shelly was amazing today! She greeted a client in the waiting room by trotting up to him and wagging her tail. He uses a scooter as his foot is in a cast. She patiently waited for him to go first and followed him into the therapy office. She sat by his side as he began talking. As he became emotional Shelly gently put her front paws on his chest and laid her head down. The client began sharing his emotions with Shelly as she continued to comfort him. She slowly eased her way into his lap and he held her in his arms and told her, "You're just what I needed today. Thanks Shelly." She gave him a gentle lick on the cheeck and pressed her head into his chest. While I do not encourage her to get into a client's lap, it seemed to foster much sharing on the part of the client. The client added, "Shelly knows I am struggling today....she just knows." The magical power of pet therapy. The last client this evening brought Shelly Christmas gifts because Shelly has helped brighten her days as she has reflected on her therapy sessions. The client shared, "When I think of Shelly, I have to smile. My grief is lighter when I see her face. She makes me laugh as I watch her play." This client recently lost her mother. Shelly is a joy! Can't wait to see more puppy pictures. Do I check the web site?
Thanks and have a great day!
Theresa and Shelly


10-12-09 Hi Pat, Shelly went to work today with me and was thrilled to greet EVERYONE! We will have to work on the barking when people walk in though :). She made a thirty year old, who now is limited as a result of a car accident, laugh and smile and relax. She made a teenager laugh and he began talking as a result of Shelly listening and looking at him and a 9 year old and Shelly played ball today. He talked to Shelly about many things. It was a wonderful day. Theresa, Mike and Shelly
