Shiloh's Fluffy Mission
Hi friends, it’s me, Shiloh!
I’m so excited to share that soon you can ask for me to join you during your therapy or nutrition sessions with my co-therapist, Kelsey, if you’d like a little extra comfort — and it won’t cost anything extra.
I’ve been practicing my calm sits, gentle greetings, and of course my best “good boy” manners, and if all goes well on my big test, I’ll get to come to the office and spread some fluffy joy.
So What’s Animal‑Assisted Therapy, Anyway?”
I never expected “therapy dog” to be my calling. I’m a rescue pup, so my early days were a bit chaotic. Then Kelsey found me, believed in me, and teamed up with my trainer Kay to help me figure out my superpowers. Kay taught me how to use my natural sweetness to help humans feel safe and calm. Somewhere between the ear scratches, cozy blankets, and Kay cheering me on, I realized… oh. I love this helping‑humans thing.
​
Now I’m a fluffy intern in Animal‑Assisted Therapy. My training mostly involves learning to be gentle, comforting, and—fine—I’m working on not stealing snacks during serious moments. Research says dogs help humans feel calmer and more connected… but honestly, have you seen me?
Kelsey handles the important clinical stuff. She’s a Certified Animal‑Assisted Intervention Specialist through AAAIP, which means she keeps everyone safe—humans and me.
My job? Emotional fluff. Tail wags. Strategic snack acquisition. Together, we make a pretty great therapy team.
