In honor of National Love Your Pet Day we’re celebrating the unconditional love, comfort, and joy that our furry friends bring into our lives — especially Leo! 🐶
Occasionally, Rich brings in his new rescue dog, Leo, and he has quickly become a Shore House fan favorite.
Did you know?
🐾 Interacting with dogs can increase oxytocin (the “feel-good” hormone) and reduce cortisol, the stress hormone.
🐾 Therapy dogs have been shown to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
🐾 Time with animals can lower blood pressure and encourage social connection — an important part of mental health recovery.
🐾 Dogs create moments of routine, responsibility, and purpose, all of which support wellness and healing.
At Shore House, we know recovery is about connection, community, and finding joy in everyday moments. Leo helps us do just that — one kiss at a time. 💙
