On September 10, eight teams of PAWS of CNY volunteers attended the Fall De-Stress Event at the State University of New York at Oswego. Volunteers and their certified therapy dogs interacted with about 200 students in the shade of a big tree in front of Onondaga Hall.

It was a very hot day but many students still came out to pet the dogs and ask some questions. PAWS of CNY volunteers who attended the event included:

Christy Nappi and her Pomeranian Terrier Mix Charlie
Diane Rogers and Mary Berger with their Shi Tzu Sammy
Sue Vaughn and her Black Labrador Bert
Martha Sturtz and her Golden Retriever Flyer
Wendy Davenport and her Golden Doodle Fiona
Holly Besaw and her cat Hector
Linda Wood and Jocelyn Forcione with their Golden Retriever Casey
Joy Hawksby and her Golden Retriever Hali

Everyone had a great time and the students had a chance to relax and de-stress with the dogs!
