Off Duty Dogs
When we are on therapy dog visits, we often hear something to the effect of, "I could never do this. My dog is too crazy!" To which, we inevitably reply, "Well, they're on duty now, but you should see them off duty!" Dogs have the intelligent capacity to know that they can behave differently depending on the situation, location, and even who is present. All of our therapy dogs have lively and colorful personalities that don't always get a chance to be showcased on therapy vists. You will see that our well-behaved therapy dogs, can be silly, adventurous, and maybe even a little mischievous. Enjoy a glimpse into the lives of our Off Duty Dogs!
** WOOF conducts group visits throughout the greater Peoria area. Photos of those visits dating back to WOOF's inception in 2011 can be viewed on our Facebook page.**
