This year Valentine's Day arrives on a Tuesday and many of the residents may not have family or friends visiting so the team is thrilled to give the residents of Care-Age a special Valentine’s Day visit. Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love and what better way to spread love than with a group of canines! The dogs and their handlers will be passing out homemade cookies, candy, Valentine’s Day cards, and flowers donated by Dolores Kopp owner of D’s City Chic Flowers and Gifts in Brookfield. 

The EBHS Therapy Team is comprised of all volunteers and their dogs that donate their time to senior programs, library reading programs and children's programs in the community. All dogs on the team are registered therapy dogs and most are Elmbrook Humane Society alumni and/or rescue dogs. Many of the volunteers and their dogs visit the residents at Care-Age on a regular basis.
