Poppy and Vera - Comfort Therapy Dogs

Poppy and Vera - Comfort Therapy Dogs Canine Assisted Therapy dogs and Ambassadors for Christ with Canines For Christ Poppy and Vera are canine-assisted therapy dogs through Canines For Christ.

Along with their human family members Steve, Lisa, and Dory, they visit assisted living facilities, camps, schools, police stations, hospitals - anywhere needed, to make smiles, give comfort, and bring the love of Jesus Christ and serve our community. Our services are on a volunteer basis. Both Poppy and Vera are "Doodles" - Poppy being a Goldendoodle and Vera being an Australian Labradoodle. Both

are non-shedding and hypoallergenic making them great therapy dogs for people who are allergic to dogs. Both girls have been through training and have passed their Canine Good Citizen tests through American Kennel Club. They were then accepted as Ambassadors for Christ with Canines For Christ. Steve and Lisa have been in children's ministry as teachers and leaders for over 20 years. They are also former foster parents and have had several classes in behavioral children. Dory is 17 years old and a Junior handler for Canines For Christ and shows the dogs in 4-H dog shows and NADAC agility trials. She has been training and showing since she was 12 years old. She plans on attending ministry school when finishing High School. If you are interested in having us visit your facility or school, or have any questions, please feel free to email us. We will also be happy to share references.

I love and appreciate this lady so much! After a visit with our friends at Brookdale Assisted Living today, I took Poppy to see Dr. Deena Riggins for an adjustment. We've been seeing he er since 2023. Poppy always feels so much better after visiting Dr. Deena. Because of her love for animals and passion for chiropractic health, she helps so many find relief and to feel good- both animals and humans! We 100% recommend her for your pets care! https://drdeenaanimalchiro.com/

Dogs come into our lives,
choosing to accompany us
for a brief period during our
journey here on earth.
Throughout their time spent
by our sides, they bring
Immeasurable happiness,
demonstrate deep loyalty
and give unconditional love.
You are never lonely in their company
and their dedication knows no bounds.
They leave paw prints on our hearts,
a legacy of bright memories
And we are forever grateful
for having known them..
