Our new digs are shaping up nicely! The WMU Therapy Dog Clinic is now in a nice spacious room on the 4th floor of Unified Clinics! We have room for snuggles, crafts, active play, and more!

We are so very proud of Brooke and her best good boy, Goldo, on all their accomplishments! They showcased their journey at the WMU Department of Occupational Therapy’s annual Barbara Rider Colloquium yesterday!

Great things are happening! We’ve got a new space with a ton of room for activities and engagement, and we’re now right next to the reception area on the 4th floor of Unified Clinics!

Western Michigan University’s MODA (Merchandising Opportunities & Design Association) made custom bandanas for us, so of course Sunny the Therapy Dog had to bring a few friends for the fashion show and photo session!

It’s always great to have friend-colleagues visit class to share their work. Today we had Amber Depuydt Goodlock of Bronson Healthcare Sexual Assault Services and Chewy (Canine Companions facility dog) to our HOL 5390 (Seminar on Animal Assisted Services) course. They shared the impact facility dogs have on child maltreatment survivors.

Did you know that our very own Sunny the Therapy Dog will be under the stage lights this December as the scruffy, sweet dog in Annie!?!? He was truly built for the limelight. Tickets are selling fast, so grab yours for one of his show dates below!

Also, because Sunny has a significant fanbase here (he supports many local kids who have gone through hard stuff) we are fundraising to supply them with tickets (client + a caretaker). So far, we've been able to provide 10 sets of tickets due to the generous support of the Unified Clinics' administrative team and Western Michigan University professor emeritus Dr. Ben Atkinson. However, we have more young friends who would love to see their beloved Sunny on stage in this holiday classic. If you're interested in sponsoring tickets, please reach out to uc-therapydogs@wmich.edu!
