Paws 4 Support

Paws For Support is a charity who use trained therapy dogs in a wide variety of settings but mostly in schools visiting young people and also visiting the elderly in residential homes. 

Therapy dogs in schools can teach respect, kindness, responsibility,  friendship and trust.  They can help develop social, nurturing and empathy skills, help build relationships and sooth, reduce and calm children suffering from stress and anxiety.  

At La Mare we are lucky enough to have two therapy dogs, called Teddy and Roxy,  who visit once a week.
