This is Niffy. Niffy is a Labrador and German Shepard Mix that we rescued. She was found as a puppy in a junkyard in Kentucky. Niffy wanted to give back, so she became a Therapy dog. She has the following certifications: AKC (American Kennel Club), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), UCGC (Urban Canine Good Citizen) TDI (Therapy Dog International). She completed her Therapy Dog Certification in June of 2023 and has been working since. Niffy is a very smart and compassionate dog. She loves to go to work to help people. She has been able to pick up on clients’ emotions and has assisted them through some difficult sessions. However, if you know anything about labs, she loves food and literally could eat herself to death.
At anytime if you feel I have done something ethically wrong, you can contact your state licensing agency.
