Dog Therapy Drop-in Session #2 – FIFSW ONLY

This event is open to FIFSW students only. 

Come one, come all! FIFSW has partnered with Sunshine Therapy Dogs, to bring drop-in dog therapy sessions for you!

As the end of the term is approaching, we invite all interested students to stop by and visit these friendly volunteer dogs to de-stress and connect with each other.

FIFSW Dog Therapy will be happening in 2 drop-in sessions (no registration required):

• Monday, April 1st, 2024; 12:00PM – 1:30PM; 6th Floor (Room 620)
• Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024; 12:00PM – 1:30PM; 6th Floor (Room 620)

*Kindly note that some volunteer dogs may be stepping out from 12:40PM-12:50PM for a short break before returning to meet you all!

In advance of these sessions, we highly encourage all students to view the additional guidelines posted below:

1. Sunshine Therapy Dogs is a Canadian Registered Charity that provides visits from loving, qualified dogs, and their volunteer owners.
2. Therapy dogs and owners are assessed before being a part of the volunteer team; these are not registered service animals.
3. Dogs will be leashed and supervised by the volunteers at all times. For safety reasons, please be mindful of any guidelines that the volunteers provide.
4. To avoid overwhelming the dogs, we are limiting it to 3 students interacting with each dog at any given time. Students are free to drop-in and stick around but we ask that everyone take turns!
5. Some dogs may need to step out for a short break in the session; they will return afterwards to continue meeting you all!
6. Drop-in sessions will only be on the 6th floor of the building, in and near room 620. Signage will be posted in the area; however should any students have any allergies or restrictions, please keep in mind that the dogs will be in this area.
7. Sanitizer sprays will be made available at the sessions.
8. Please do not have any food or drinks in hand when interacting with the dogs (as to not distract them).
