Psychologist Julie Forbes, Ph.D.and her super-cool Greyhound Kermit, veterinarian Rachel Wheeler, and PAHS education manager

Leonor Delgado joined local Girl Scout Troop 60319 for an informative session at the beginning of August about therapy dogs. Needless to say, Kermit was the silent star of our video.

Meet Kermit and find out about the important role played by therapy dogs like him and get tips about dog care and dog-to-human bonding.

Special thanks to Scout leader Christie Augustine for putting this video together.

The Palo Alto Humane Society is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, charitable, volunteer-supported organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of the shelter through humane programs in intervention, advocacy, and education. For a century, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.
