Three therapy dogs at college excel
Introducing College Excel's Therapy Dogs in Training

Category: The Lighter Side

College Excel, a comprehensive, residential college support program located in Bend, OR, is currently in the beginning stages of having three dogs certified as "emotional support animals," also known as therapy dogs, through the National Service Animal Registry. These dogs include Rosie, a labrador pitbull mix, Theo, a golden retriever and Otis, a golden retriever.

Emotional support animals provide just what their name states: emotional support to their owners, as well as to others who have the luxury of coming into contact with them. Research has shown that simply petting dogs for a few minutes can instantly lower human stress levels. At College Excel, it is exciting that these wonderful pooches can help staff and students alike!
