Avery Ewing

Hi! My name is Avery and I am an ATD certified therapy dog that works alongside my mom—Bess! Throughout my years, I have volunteered in hospitals in the peds oncology department, alzheimers groups, colleges and school and more! I love meeting new friends and getting all the pets. I am great at helping teach respect and boundaries while also providing comfort throughout your session. Did you know people say having a dog present can help reduce levels of anxiety and enhance positive mood? Interactions with animals have been said to decrease levels of cortisol (the stress related hormone) and lower blood pressure! I am 79lbs of fluff but sometimes forget how big I am and will try to crawl into your lap. I may even try to give you a few kisses. If you think I would help you during your session and don’t mind a little shedding, just let my mom know! No promises I wont try to give you a hug.
