The Unconditional Joy of a Furry Friend

We are proud to offer safe, supervised visits from gentle, loving dogs that bring joy, comfort, and loyal friendship to the lives of our clients. The simple act of petting a dog can have a profound impact, reducing stress, easing loneliness, and providing a happy distraction from daily challenges.

Our Furry Companions program is designed to deliver these powerful benefits directly to seniors in their homes, at assisted living facilities, or in nursing homes across Long Island.

The Positive Impact of Our Furry Companions

Our visits are more than just a fun activity, they are a form of therapy that brings smiles and provides measurable health benefits.

 

Eases Loneliness & Anxiety

A visit from a gentle dog provides warm, non-judgmental companionship. Our dogs are loyal friends who bring smiles and provide immediate comfort, helping to relieve feelings of stress, anxiety, and isolation.

Relieves Stress & Improves Mood

It is scientifically proven that interacting with a friendly animal lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and promotes a sense of calm. Our visits are a powerful way to brighten someone's day and improve their overall emotional well-being.

Encourages Gentle Activity

Our companions provide gentle encouragement to stay active. The simple, repetitive motion of petting or brushing, or even a light game of toss, can promote mobility, improve motor skills, and provide positive engagement.
