Pet Therapy at Our Tucson Office!
Meet Chewie, our newest therapy recruit!
Chewie is our new puppy-in-training — he is a golden retriever and comes from pet therapy parents who are docile, chill, friendly, and patient. He loves a good belly scratch, going on a walk around the plaza, sitting for treats, and laying in laps.
Feel free to request Chewie’s presence at your session and let your provider know if you have any concerns about allergies or other needs. Goldens are very furry and leave Golden glitter everywhere they go.
Animals are intuitive and sensitive to emotional needs and shifts, and can be a great support for kids and adults.
