FINN - Hospice Therapy Dog
Director Of Making People Smile =)
Rescued at 7 weeks old, Finn was in poor health so he came to work with Nancy Trevett every day so he could be monitored. After a quick recovery, Finn is now at work M-F and is the most popular being in the business complex, giving kisses and joy to not only SPG employees, but to everyone in the building. We realized he was calm and loving with anyone who wanted to hold him so we decided to train him to be a hospice therapy dog. Finn is still a baby so he is in his “socialization” stage, but he will start his training soon so he can gain his certification.
