Morrisville College Students Enjoy Pet Therapy

PAWS of CNY volunteers had the opportunity to provide pet-assisted wellness services to students at Morrisville State College. As students prepared mentally and physically for the strain and stress of finals week, PAWS of CNY’s therapy dogs stepped in to help calm, cheer, and refresh.

The event, which took place at the Morrisville State College Library, was attended by over 50 students. PAWS of CNY volunteer teams in attendance included Lisa Baker and her Jack Russell Mix Lola, Ronna Richardson and her Golden Retriever Cody, and Jessica Marabella and her Boston Terrier Aberdeen.

All of the students were appreciative of the opportunity to spend some quality time with PAWS of CNY’s certified therapy dogs. Students shared laughs, stories of their pets at home, and most importantly, enjoyed some must needed rest and relaxation.

If you’d like PAWS of CNY’s pet therapy dogs to attend your next event, please complete our community event request form.

Where would we be without our fabulous volunteers? Where would we be without our fabulous volunteers?! Every day we value their selfless commitment to the Pet Assisted Wellness Services of CNY mission and their service to all those they share their time and pets with.  And recently we were able to celebrate them at our annual volunteer luncheon at Heritage Hill Brewhouse in Pompey. There was plenty of good food, good company, good stories, gifts, and good information to go around. Thank you, too, to the organizers Floris and Francine, our Board President Jay Peacock, and guest speaker John Pinneo, DVM.
