A Heartwarming Morning of Pet Therapy with Purdy! 🥹🐾

A Heartwarming Morning of Pet Therapy with Purdy! 🥹🐾
This morning, our community had the absolute delight of welcoming Purdy, our beautiful therapy dog, and her lovely owner, Amy, for a special pet therapy session that brought smiles to every face and lifted everyone’s spirits. Right from the moment Purdy and Amy walked through our doors, there was an undeniable buzz of excitement in the air.

Our residents eagerly gathered, ready to meet this special four legged friend who never fails to brighten even the cloudiest days. Purdy, a gentle and affectionate dog with soft fur and soulful eyes, quickly worked her magic. As soon as she wagged her tail and offered her first friendly nuzzle, it was clear that everyone felt an instant connection. Her calm and loving nature was a perfect fit for our residents, who couldn’t wait to interact with her.

Throughout the morning, laughter and conversation filled the room as residents took turns stroking Purdy’s fur and talking to her as if she were an old friend. Some residents shared stories of their own beloved pets, while others simply enjoyed the comforting presence of this sweet dog by their side. Amy, Purdy’s devoted owner, was equally wonderful. She took time to introduce herself and Purdy, sharing charming stories about Purdy’s background, her training as a therapy dog, and the many places they visit together to spread joy.

Amy’s warmth and enthusiasm made everyone feel at ease, encouraging even the shyest residents to come forward and join in.One of the highlights of the morning was watching Purdy show off some of her adorable tricks. From offering a paw to giving a gentle high five, Purdy’s talents impressed everyone and the residents were full of praise and applause. These moments sparked so much joy and conversation, drawing everyone closer together in shared delight. But beyond the laughter and excitement, what made this morning truly special was the deep sense of connection that blossomed between Purdy and our residents.

For many, it was a reminder of the unconditional love and companionship that pets bring into our lives. It was also a chance to forget worries, if only for a little while, and simply enjoy the present moment filled with warmth and love. Pet therapy sessions like this one are a wonderful way to promote emotional well being and reduce stress. They bring comfort, encourage social interaction, and remind us all of the healing power of animal companionship.

We are so grateful to Amy and Purdy for taking the time to visit us and share their love and positivity. As the session came to a close, residents were already asking when Purdy could come back for another visit. It’s safe to say that everyone is eagerly looking forward to the next time we get to spend a morning filled with wagging tails, happy hearts, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you, Amy and Purdy, for making our day so special. Until next time, we’ll be cherishing the happiness you brought us today. 💖🐶

Great level of service for my mother. It is a weight off of our minds to find a team who are so dedicated to her wellbeing and safety. Lots of activities and Mum integrated immediately into her new home. Keep up the fantastic work.

The team are always responsive to our requests in a very positive way. They hold events constantly, which keep the residents happy, interested and promotes their health in this way. They’re forward thinking, by taking residents whenever possible on one to one basis days out. Their page on social media has almost daily updates within the home, exhibiting pictures of the residents enjoying singing, drawing, painting, puzzles etc. I have never known a care home with such a caring outlook from top to bottom.
