Meet the Therapy Pets
Saturday June 30, 2018
10:30 a.m.
Exploration Works, Downtown Helena

Meet some of Montana’s friendliest dogs as they demonstrate how they brighten lives in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living homes, and other facilities in the Helena Valley. They will be standing by and ready to pet on Saturday June 30 at 10:30 a.m. at Exploration Works in downtown Helena.
Learn how therapy pets help kids read, through the Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.) program, a highly regarded literacy program that’s active in all 50 states and several countries.
Discover what’s involved in therapy pet training and testing, and see why these pets are so special. Learn whether your dog or cat might be a good therapy pet, but please don’t bring them to this event.
In August, the Helena Chapter of Intermountain Therapy Animals (therapyanimals.org) will run training classes and screening tests for a new generation of therapy dogs and cats. If you can’t attend Exploration Works’ Meet the Therapy Pets event on Saturday June 30 at 10:30 a.m., visit www.PetTherapyHelena.com for information.
