Lend A Paw is committed to enhancing the lives of individuals experiencing physical, mental, emotional or life challenges by providing therapy dogs to offer warmth, compassion, unconditional love and a healing environment. The program is designed to rescue dogs from the shelter and train them to be therapy dogs. Individuals are also invited to join our LAP team with their own dogs provided the dogs have the required obedience and temperament for therapy work.

Meet Flora - Therapy Dog in Training

This is Flora, a 1 year old Chihuahua/Pug who is playful, energetic, and very cuddly. She is a fun girl who wants to be with people and give them love.
Flora was found as a stray and ended up at the shelter, before being rescued by New Leash On Life. This little bundle of energy loves going on walks, and playing with her toys, but is also very happy to sit in your lap and give you kisses.
Because she loves to be with people so much, she was chosen to be the next Lend A Paw trainee. She has moved to K9s Only where she is undergoing training and learning to become a therapy dog.
Flora is also looking for a home to call her own and would love to continue her training to become a Certified Lend A Paw member along with her new family.
If you or someone you know is interested in meeting and possibly adopting Flora, please contact Sharon Vincuilla, Lend A Paw Coordinator and Training Manager at K9s Only.
