Buy t-shirts and support therapy dogs

NEWS RELEASE

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE

*************************
We are currently selling “Shock Advised” AED t-shirts for $20 to raise money for our Therapy Dog program.

As you may already know, our Therapy dogs visit local hospitals, nursing homes, schools, group homes, ARCH Hospice, and retirement homes.

There is no charge to any of these facilities for the visits.

All money raised will stay in the Sault to support our local program.

The Therapy dog program are all volunteers, there are no paid positions.

We currently have 19 dog/handler teams providing visits in the Sault, but there is a list of facilities waiting for a team to become available.

The money raised will be used to hold evaluations(testing) of new teams and to cover the cost of their uniforms.

T-shirts can be purchased at our training centre at B688 Second Line East.

People can also call (705)945-1224 X 5161 for more information.
