Imagine spending a day at the courthouse waiting to speak with judges and attorneys about your life. Now that's stress!

Scheduled Visits - Week of November 15th

New Horizons

This is an indoor classroom visit. We can take up to 4 teams. It is very relaxed and casual. We go to each classroom and ask if they would like a visit. If they say yes (and they always do) we just walk around and greet each student and give them a chance to pet the dogs. They love to see any tricks you might know!

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.
