We're excited to introduce our newest member, Sunny! 🌻
Sunny is a greyhound rescue from Australia who arrived in May and is settling in nicely.
It's possible you may never meet this shy girl, but we're hoping in time she will come out of her office to say hello!

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved office companion, Clementine.
Clementine enjoyed her days greeting clients, sitting in on sessions, and providing comfort to those in need.
She was greatly loved among the A Holding Place community and will be dearly missed💜
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
