Sometimes there is nothing better than patting a dog as they sit beside you and wag their tail. It can improve even the worst of days.

Many of our residents used to have dogs in their own homes and would love the chance to spend a little time with one again.

You could come in as often as you like but preferably weekly so that the residents get familiar with you & your wonderful dog. You will need a letter from your vet stating that he/she is of the right disposition to engage with the elderly [not barky/snappy/jumpy].
