Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara stopped by the Girls Inc. of Carpinteria campus last week for a day of play, where girls learned how to safely interact with new dogs. Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara Executive Director Carey Bradshaw told CVN the girls also had plenty of time for cuddles and dog tricks.

“Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara had a wonderful visit with the campers at Girls Inc of Carpinteria (…) The smiles and laughter were contagious!” Bradshaw said.
“The organization’s certified therapy dogs and their handlers provide comfort, support and unconditional love to individuals in schools, children’s organizations, nursing homes and other care facilities. Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara believes in the transformative power of the human-animal bond and strives to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need,” she added.
The nonprofit is looking for more volunteers to help with the community, according to Bradshaw; see more online at therapydogssb.org.
