New Therapy Dogs at Carleton

Our pets serve to be a therapeutic and calming presence. So when students leave for school, they also leave their beloved pets behind. But nowadays, mental health concerns have become more common in universities. Campuses respond by providing therapy dog programs to relieve students' stress. Carleton University is one of these campuses.

Shannon Noonan is Carleton's healthy workplace coordinator, and she's the one who started the program with her dog named Blue. Blue still works as a therapy dog at Carleton today. According to Noonan, the bond that students share with the therapy dogs at Carleton is special since these are the same dogs that interact with them every week. 

All of the therapy dogs at Carleton are certified by the Ottawa Therapy Dogs (OTD). These dogs are chosen based on their temperament, trainability, and talent.
