Airport Therapy Dog Helps Travelers

Ruth Schussler and her Therapy Dog, Koa have been changing lives and easing the anxiety of travelers at Syracuse Airport. If you are unfamiliar with our airport program SYR PET, you will be pleased to find out that we currently have six dogs along with their humans visiting Syracuse Airport regularly to help ease people while they are away from their families and traveling. As you know, traveling in an airport can be an especially stressful task and just taking a minute to do something like petting a cute dog can truly help calm you down or even just kill the time. If you haven’t seen our Therapy Dogs at the airport yet, keep your eyes peeled – you don’t want to miss them!

Liverpool Pet Therapy Evaluations

This month’s evaluations are set to be held at Justin’s Canine Campus in Liverpool on Saturday, October 30th from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. If you are an existing volunteer looking to get your pet re-certified so they can return to visits, this would be an amazing step in that direction.

We still cannot evaluate new pets due to the fact that we do not have any hospitals that will let us come in for that step in the evaluation process. Without this step, we unfortunately cannot move forward with new volunteers. Due to this, we will continue to offer evaluations to existing volunteers only.
