Pet Therapy
Therapy Dog Days!
Take a break and join us at the CSUMB Library for some relaxation and positive vibes with therapy dogs! Dr. L and her sweet therapy dog, Blue, will be there every Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a little stress relief. And don't miss out on therapy dog Dolly, who will be visiting every Thursday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Stop by and enjoy some furry-friendly wellness!
If you'd like to request Blue for an event or class, feel free to contact Lisa Leininger. Blue is certified through Therapy Dogs International, and we can provide a questionnaire for consent from students in classes.
