Our Friend Shadow

We have recently been having visits from a ‘Pets as Therapy’ dog. Shadow is a Border Collie and has been twice now with his owner Diana. He has been slowly getting used to the environment, and spending time with some of our residents.

It is wonderful to witness the delight on the faces of residents when they see him, and they love stroking him, talking to him, and sharing stories of their own experiences with dogs – many have had their own dogs in the past, or still have family visits with their own pets.

Shadow is very well trained, allows the attention, and is also very interested in the different rooms and areas of the home that he comes across.

Shadow will continue to come in and see us, and we are very grateful to him and Diana for taking the time to bring such joy to the lives of residents.
