Therapy Dogs Visit Long Creek Youth Development Center

Long Creek Youth Development Center and JCC partnered with Christie Gardner and her team with a surprise visit from five Therapy Dogs and their handlers for the youth residents and staff. The tour began quietly in the lobby. They entered the building where Chief of Volunteer Services Stephanie Netto was hosting a meeting with several volunteers, and a stop in the Visitation Area where LC was celebrating birthdays in the Month of August with eight residents. They travelled the building with the entourage of dogs and spent about 30 minutes in each of the units.
