Congratulations Roxie!

All that practice and hard work paid off! Roxie passed her Therapy Dog Certification Exam on Saturday 7/21/12 and is now ready to go to work! We first introduced Roxie in November 2011; Sharon Newman, a Certified Lend A Paw Handler, was raising Roxie to become a certified therapy dog. Roxie is a Golden Retriever who, even as a puppy, loved people and wanted to please them. 

Roxie is proudly wearing her Lend A Paw vest!
Her first visit as a newly Certified therapy dog was at the Jewish Home for the Aging, where she made the residents extremely happy! 
"I look forward to many years of visits with her to a variety of places, bringing happiness and love to so many people", says Newman.
Congratulations Sharon and Roxie! And thank you for your services!
