Marcus Dalip, Director of Pet Therapy, helps provide a therapeutic tool to our clients with the help of our certified therapy dogs, Mila and Finnegan. Our pet therapy dogs have proven to welcome additions to home care settings where clients were no longer able to care for a pet of their own. Marcus works with physical and occupational therapists who like to enlist our therapy dogs to treat our clients that can use the help. For example, physical therapists help improve clients’ walking skills by asking them to walk one of our friendly Therapy Dogs along the sidewalk or driveway. Occupational therapists may ask a recovering stroke client to brush the dog’s coat, which can help improve the client’s arm strength or fine motor skills. Mila and Finn have always been calm and willing partners for this kind therapy work.
