Carrie and Cooper are excited to be new members of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program.

Cooper is spreading joy and comfort during his weekly visits to the Arnprior Villa and the Arnprior Public Library and offers quiet companionship at a monthly grief group. With his friendly social nature, he loves meeting new people, and has a special way of putting everyone at ease. Gentle and lovable, Cooper is always ready to share his warm heart and comforting presence with the community.

When he is off duty, Cooper loves playing with his friends at the Pup’s Place, going on outdoor adventures and is especially proud of his talent for catching a ball right out of the air!

Angela & Clancy have been visiting The Grove LTC Home in Arnprior for a little over a year, and they’re excited to have recently added weekly visits to the Arnprior Library! 📚💛

During his visits, Clancy “wiggle-walks” from person to person, spreading smiles and joy everywhere he goes. 🐶✨

Fun Facts about Clancy:

• He’s an Irish Glen of Imaal Terrier 🇮🇪

• He loves dog shows and sprinter races 🏅

• And he will never say no to an ice cream cone! 🍦

Welcome Julie and Maggie! Maggie is a proud St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog who loves spreading smiles wherever she goes! With her gentle paws and happy tail, she brightens days at retirement residences, and a library-always ready for a cuddle or a quiet visit.
When she's off duty, Maggie enjoys playtime at Pup's Place with all her furry friends and cozy snuggles with her family. She's a joyful reminder that a little love (and a wagging tail) can make any day better!

The Arnprior Library is usually filled with the sound of pages turning and quiet chatter, but that changes when Cooper, the golden retriever, walks in.
