Meet Gracie

Gracie is a 9-month-old Mini Labradoodle and one of the newest members of our Stepping Out Therapy Dog Program! This sweet girl is working toward her therapy dog certification with the goal of bringing comfort, companionship, and smiles to people in schools, hospitals, and other community settings. While she is still in the early stages of her journey, Gracie is already showing great potential.

Through the program, Gracie is building the skills, confidence, and reliability needed to become a successful therapy dog. From learning how to remain calm in new environments to developing strong manners and focus around distractions, each step is helping prepare her for the important work ahead. We are especially excited to begin the next phase of her training, where she’ll start gaining more experience in public settings as she continues progressing through the program. Way to go, Gracie! We can’t wait to watch you grow and see all the lives you’ll touch along the way.
