Pet Therapy at Nursing Homes

  Snickers is a 6-year-old Irish doodle.  He has been coming to the facility since he was 8 weeks old to visit his Grammy and met many new friends.   His mommy’s name is Connie Wentz.

  Snicker makes various appearances through out the year including many Holidays where he loves to dress in one of his many outfits. He always participates in our Annual Halloween Celebration. Snicker is loved by many residents and staff here at MVNRC.

  Snickers went through training to receive his K-9 Good Citizenship Certificate as well as being tested through the Alliance of therapy dogs and passed with flying colors. Most of the time, when Snickers is here you don’t even hear a beep out of him.  Unless of course, his friend Vicki B from activities is near.  They sometimes get into trouble together.

  Some of Snickers favorites are playing ball, visiting his friends here, going for walks, receiving a lot of attention, and eating his favorite home-made cookies.
