St. John Ambulance Dog Therapy

It is said that there are few things in life that inspire as much joy in people as a wet nose and a wagging tail.  Research has shown that visits from Therapy Dogs can reduce feelings of loneliness, depression and anxiety associated with an illness.

That’s why for nearly two decades St. John Ambulance has been proud to provide the Therapy Dog Program. The Therapy Dog Program has well behaved canine ambassadors and their handlers visit people in hospitals, special needs programs or in long-term care facilities.

The Hospice currently has two canine ambassadors named Lantana and Chester that would be happy if you booked an appointment to come and visit them at our hospice on Spring Street in Bedford. 

Please call our office to set up a time for a visit.  (902) 446-0929
