Shadow is a Tibetan Terrier with big dreams and a big personality. He loves meeting people, smelling things, and exploring all the world has to offer. In 2023 Shadow passed his Canine Good Citizen test and became a certified volunteer with Therapy Dogs of Vermont.  He is very happy to brighten days, take mindful walks, and radiate good energy.

 

Shadow helps us to practice mindful experiential therapy. By bringing awareness to the moment, our bodies, and our surroundings we connect with our inner selves and core needs. Many studies show benefits from animal assisted therapy including reducing stress, improved mood, increased social communication, and self regulation. 

 

Shadow can be found at the office most Thursdays and as Jennelle’s loyal sidekick most anytime.

 

His continuing education goals include sharing the couch and getting more treats.
