We have two happy therapy dogs at our office. Finley, a Cavachon, belongs to Suzanne and is a very sweet and mellow little dog. He is available to sit calmly with you through all or part of your session. Nilla, a Lab/terrier mix, belongs to Beth, our Clinic Manager. Nilla will exuberantly say hello to you. Children often come sit with her in her room. Nilla is not as calm as Finley and may not last too long in session, but she adores people, children, and other dogs. Finley and Nilla are the very best of friends!
