Therapy Dogs Bring Comfort on the First Day of School

First-day jitters? Not when you’ve got a four-legged friend by your side.
In this story from WILX News 10, students at Beagle Elementary were welcomed back to school with the help of therapy dogs trained by Canines for Change. Our dogs provided comfort and calm to children navigating nerves, transitions, and the big emotions that can come with a new school year.

We’re proud to be part of moments like these—where the impact of our Dogs in Schools program is felt in real time.
