Hello

Hello, My name is Lady Abigail of Lovealot...but my friends call me Abby. I am 8 years old and am a Welsh Pembrook Corgi. I love going on therapy dog visits, especially to Hospice. I like to have my ears rubbed and meeting new friends.

We are Amos and Flint and we love visiting at assisted living facilities and other places and making people smile. We go to school with Mom and the kids think we are twins. Being a therapy dog is so much fun and Mom says we are truly angels with fur.

Hello, I am Angus McPup of POV. Duncan is the little one in training. Sometimes it is hard getting these young pups to stay in line. Right now this is play time for us or play time for Pam. I get so excited when my bag is put in the car and the leash comes out. I know where I am going.........to make someone smile and laugh today and I will gets lots of pats and brushing. These times are play times for us too..............lots of love to give and share.

My name is Cabal (Kuh-ball), but I like to be called “Cabbie,” and I’m a tan and white Husky. I started visiting as a Therapy Dog when I was 1 ½ years old and love to be petted and get lots of attention. I take an Agility class each week where I get to run through tunnels, jump through hoops, and run in circles. My mom says she does these things at work, but I don’t think she has as much fun as I do. I love to run really fast and chase squirrels. I am learning to pull my mom on rollerblades and to pull a cart so that I get plenty of exercise and sleep all night. I am a working dog so I get bored and need games and exercise to keep me happy.

Hi! My name is Carolina. My most favorite thing is visiting our local nursing home and kids camps! I love all the attention I get and the smiles I see while I'm visiting. Not only do I get to visit different places but I get to hang out with all my Therapy Dog friends!

Hello, My name is Chase and I am ready for a Halloween visit. I am a rock star, green hair and feet and my own guitar. I love making people smile. I visit children in hospitals and grown ups in assisted living facilities and hospitals. I am always ready to go and never get tired. I love to give big sloppy kisses to everyone.

To introduce myself, I was adopted by Goetz & Carolyn Eaton from the Anderson Animal Shelter in 2002. I think that I joined SCDogs Therapy Group in late 2002 or 2003. I enjoy visiting with the Group and making Patients happy and feel better in Assisted Living Facilities and Rehabilitation Hospitals. I have visited the Anderson County Drug Court graduation and encouraged the young graduates to stay off Drugs and continue in school. I told them that I was in a "Shelter" and got another chance to help people and they need take the opportunity they got through the Drug Court to help their friends stay off Drugs. I also visited the Anderson County Alternative School and encouraged the Students to make something positive out of their "second chance" as I did.
I love all my Friends in the SCDogs Therapy Group.
Sincerely, Cody

Dessi is primarily a Service Dog. She helps me with balance and mobility issues. Dessi is a very special girl and I enjoy sharing her with others through Therapy work and visitations. There is no greater joy than bringing comfort to those who are hurting.

My name is Liberty and rabbits can be therapy animals too. I love to ride in my basket and visit and I steal the show from the dogs.

Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a redbone coonhound. I am a gentle dog, and I look forward to my therapy visits to rehab clinics and assisted living homes. Retired farmers always smile when they see me because I remind them of their favorite hunting dogs. Everyone loves to pet me, and they say my ears feel like velvet -- whatever that is!

Hi! My name is Luke, and I'm a retired search and rescue bloodhound. I have a new job as a therapy dog. The people I visit now don't appear to be lost, but they love to feel my soft fur and admire my long ears. This new job is easy! I especially enjoy representing our group at special events. My mom says I will soon be walking in a Christmas parade with lots of other dogs, people, and music. It sounds like a party! I love meeting other dogs and getting hugs from small children. I'm quite large, but I'm loving and gentle.

My name is Maggie. I am a fox red Labrador retriever. I get excited when I see my therapy vest and visiting bag come out of the closet because I know it’s time to go. It’s exciting to see old friends (both animal and people) and it’s equally exciting to make new friends and see new places. I really enjoy visiting with children. Sometimes they throw a ball for me and life couldn’t be better.

Hi! My name is Mister Bits and I'm a Welsh Pembroke Corgi. I love being a therapy dog! I'm always smiling and love to have my belly rubbed. I get so excited when I see my visiting leash and collar because I know I'm going to meet new friends. I'm the corgi on the left and my buddy, Sam, is on the right.

Howdy! My name is Sister Puppy but I usually am called Sis. I'm an Australian Blue Heeler and love being a therapy dog. I like meeting lots of people and especially like having by belly rubbed. I can also do some tricks. At home, I work on the farm helping bring the cattle to the barn, and protecting the baby calves from coyotes. In the photo, I'm watching the cattle being moved from one pasture to another. FUN!

My name is Skeeter. I am a four-year-old Papillon. I may be smaller than most of the other therapy dogs, but what I lack in size I make up for in personality! This is what I looked like all dressed up in my Halloween costume before going on an October SCDogs therapy visit. Participating in obedience, rally, and agility dog trials has earned me many titles. I live at home with my three older "brothers"--two Labrador Retrievers and another Papillon, where we all enjoy swimming and fetching in the lake.

Hi, I’m a yellow Labrador retriever named Summer. I am 10 yrs. old and joined the SCDogs group when I was two. When I meet people I expect to be petted. Once on a walk we met a large group on a mountain trail. My owner looked back to see where I was and I was patiently going from person to person giving them time to say hello and give me a pat. That’s my job – I’m a therapy dog! On my therapy dog vest I have a saying that speaks for all of my therapy dog friends, “I Work For Hugs and Kisses!”

My name is Sydney and I’m a true to the core Jack Russell Terrier. I love being a Jack and I love being a therapy dog. I love to act cute and sweet and watch people melt when I wiggle my short little tail. It’s hard work but somebody has to do it. Will work for pets, that’s my motto.

My name is Thlayli (Th-lay-lee or Thlay-lee), but you can call me “Toaster.” I am a white and black Papillon. I got my nickname because I don’t like slick floors and when I do scary things that are very brave like the see-saw at my school or walking on slick floors my mom calls me a brave little toaster. My favorite game is tug-o-war, but my mom says that I cheat because I always try to take her end. I love to play and go for walks with my family and visit with new friends, dogs and people. My eyes look blue anytime my picture is taken, but they are actually brown! I take Agility class each week and am learning to do weave poles, jump through tires, and lots of fun things. I get lots of treats and praise so I like to go to class.

Hi! I'm Wilson, here I am at one of my favorite visits. I just love kids! It's so cool having so much attention. I enjoy visiting older folks in nursing homes too, their faces light up when I let them pet me. I even sneak in a kiss when no one is looking! It is such fun going on visits as a therapy dog, and I've met lots of new doggy pals too!

Hi, I'm the Zackster! I am a Miniature Schnauzer who loves to earn treats by doing tricks. So far I know how to sit, lay down, stay and roll over. I can also dance - both the bunny hop and twirling in a circle on my hind legs! I have a fuzzy eyebrows that stick straight up and a beard. My sister has a beard too - how weird is that?
