Some of the most influential work that PAWS of CNY’s therapy dog teams do for our community is to support our students during stressful times of the year. Dogs have the power to help calm our nerves, make us smile when we’re feeling worried or anxious, and distract our busy minds. So to help students participating in Syracuse University’s SummerStart program to relax and unwind, PAWS of CNY sent several therapy dog teams to offer some much-needed love and support.
