At Atria West 86, seniors look forward to two Wednesday evenings of each month. What’s so special about these days? Well, therapy dogs together with their human handlers from The Good Dog Foundation pay them a visit.

Last November 14, four teams visited Atria 86. Therapy dogs that came included a Bichon, Bernese Mountain Dog, Chihuahua rat terrier mix, and a Greyhound. The Director of Marketing at The Good Dog Foundation says that visits to Atria 86 benefit the senior residents in that they feel less stressed and get have an improved mood.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
