Hey Friends,

TC here and I have been on a few red carpets in my day but none as fun as hosting the Creature Comfort Pet Therapy Red Carpet "Pre-Show" live on Facebook for this incredible organization.  I have been involved with New Jersey's Creature Comfort Pet Therapy for about six years now and I really just kind of fell into supporting them by constantly running into their wonderful therapy dogs and feeling so amazing around them! And of course our 2019 WDHA Ultimate Rock Dog Winner "Oreo" really connected with me and I was hooked!

Let me start by saying- Therapy Dogs are incredible. The jobs they perform, tasks they complete, connection they make and purpose they serve is immeasurable.

These therapy animals bring joy, teaching, solace, comfort and a better quality of life to those they touch. AND there are not only dogs, but cats, bunnies and even therapy mini horse! The mission statement of Creature Comfort is simple- To enhance people's lives through therapeutic visits with caring volunteers and their pets.

Creature Comfort Pet Therapy is slightly different than other  organizations because they embrace a hands-on approach with their therapy teams  and facilities they visit.   They work closely with each facility making sure all their needs are met. Certified therapy teams are able to choose from a variety of visits, and the purposes they serve. . They have certified more than 500 pet therapy teams, including dogs, cats, rabbits, a goat, guinea pigs and a mini horse.  Volunteer teams have provided approximately 300 visits each month facilities that include nursing homes, public and private schools, libraries, hospitals, children's learning, hospice, mental health centers and veterans programs. These pets are BUSY! And so loved and needed. I always hear wonderful stories about loneliness being alleviated , reading improving, social skills improving and smiles returning. How can you NOT be inspired to get involved? Creature Comfort Pet Therapy programs are funded by donations and they are a 501C3 charity organization.  If you would like more information, have a pet you think may be a great therapy fit or would like info on visits - visit their website-

And of course always visit our WDHA Rock N' Ruff Page for everything Pet related Or our Rock N' Ruff Roundtable page- We have you covered!

Meet the therapy dogs from this magical night that I was so proud to be a part of as host. I love donating my time to this incredible New Jersey organization.

PETS RULE! Thanks to Creature Comfort for the work you do- The world is a better place with you in it!
