Therapy Dog program
Our Therapy Dog program offers a unique opportunity for our clients to interact with trained, certified Therapy Dogs. There is established medical studies showing the positive effects therapy dog visits have for students, young children, palliative care patients and patients in hospital and we certainly see the joy they bring to the clients and staff here at Park Place!
Each of these dogs has been trained as a therapy dog and passed a series of tests that demonstrate an even temperament and a good grasp of several Obedience skills. Each dog has a designated handler who has worked many hours with their dog to establish a relationship of trust, love and respect. They work as a team and the communication between handler and dog is evident. The dogs love meeting all the clients!
We are very grateful for the volunteers who come and give of their time to share these dogs with us.

I would like to share a bit about who we are. We are Fred & Barb Kloth. I am the main person who visits with Bailey, Fred is chauffer when the roads are scary. Our home is in the town of Hancock in a rural area. We have a 40-acre farm with a couple of horses and chickens for fresh eggs.
Our Dog Bailey is a 5-yr. old boy who loves to play long shot ball, explore the woods, and cuddle. He thinks he is a great hunter but can never catch up to the turkey he flushes or the rabbits he surprises.!
There are many places that welcome therapy dogs. Park Place is the only facility we visit 2 times a month.

We are so very pleased to share our Portuguese Water Dogs with all the people at Park Place Adult Day Services. It is so fun getting to know the staff and the clients. We would like to share a bit about who we are. We are Art & Mary Noel. We moved to the area in 2008, the year we retired. We have three grown children and three grandchildren and three Portuguese Water Dogs. Our home is in the town of Rome at Lake Camelot and sits right on the shore of the lake so when we were looking for a dog, we knew wanted a dog that loved the water.
Robin was born at our house the daughter of our Beloved Eva. Robin is our forever puppy. Even though she is 11 + years old, she’s a tiny girl with a big, big, heart! She loves to entertain the clients with her little tricks routine. She has perfected the roll-over! 😊 She’s a happy go lucky sweetie. 💕 She loves swimming!
Our Violet was also born at our house. She will be 10 years old. She’s a beautiful, curly, black girl with a white marking on her chest that is in the shape of a heart and, believe me, she has a big heart! She loves the attention from the clients at Park Place and truly is a sweetheart. Her passion is dock diving 😊.
Murphy boy occasionally joins us. He is a therapy dog in training and is eager to please ❣️❣️❣️.
Art and I love bringing the dogs for visits, we love all the folks at Park Place and they make us feel most welcome. The dogs are always so excited to come for the visits as well. They love all the extra attention, handshakes & high5s!
