Dog Therapy Rox
Roxy Reading is a non-profit, all-volunteer therapy dog program.
Their mission is to help elementary school children who are
struggling with reading, and a wide variety of emotional and
physical challenges.
Founded in 2005, Roxy Reading is made up of dozens of dedicated
volunteers and their Certified Emotional Therapy Dogs. The
program touches the lives of over 700 students in 11 schools
across the Central Bucks School District.
Research has shown that magical things happen when a child
reads to a dog, or simply interacts with a Pet Therapy Team.
Anxiety levels decrease, heartbeat slows, breathing becomes
deeper and more relaxed, and fears are forgotten...learning
becomes easier!
What some third and fourth graders have to say about Roxy
Reading:
"I really like reading now. I thought a stuffed animal
helped but the dog
helps even more. The dog gives me courage to do what I can’t do for sounding
out words. I don’t have to worry about her making fun of me if I mess up.
She makes me forget unhappy thoughts like a test farther on in the day or she
just makes me feel like I’m on a fluffy cloud."
Roxy Reading is fully insured and functions only on much
appreciated tax deductible donations. If you and your dog
would like to get involved, or to make a donation, please
contact Diane Smith,
Program Director, or 215.479.5325.
