Bailey, who has been a regular addition to her office, has now retired. Koa is a new addition who you will see from time-to-time as she is still “in training” to assist in providing therapeutic support to clients. She is in a cage and only will only come out when and if children and teens want. She is non-shedding and hypo-allergenic.
