Rocky went for a trial visit at the Wasatch Canyons facility. The woman that organizes the dogs that come in likes to have dogs there so the kids have something to think about besides themselves. Good plan if you ask me. I believe they have 2 or 3 other dog teams that visit and she prefers the big dogs.
This is a behavioral health and substance abuse facility for teens from 13-18. Rocky did great and enjoyed playing in the gym with the kids. He's been snoozing since we got home. We will be going back every other week starting next week on Sundays. Hopefully the baths he has to get before he goes won't dry him out too much in this desert air.
I'm putting together a little photo album of his before and after photos to hopefully show the kids the reality of animal neglect and abuse. It's also good for them to see a handy capped dog who is very well adjusted and happy go lucky. Not just handy capped but a dog who overcame his neglect and despite it all loves anyone who will pet him and let him lick their face! That's my boy :o)
