It’s Therapy Dog Thursday (and National Therapy Animal Day), and this April we are shining a well-deserved spotlight on an incredible volunteer team from Kamloops: Anastasia and Ziggy! 🐾
Whether they are celebrating Lunar New Year or participating in the Tkemlups te Secqepemc Reparation Settlement celebration, these two are always where the community needs them most. Their dedication to bringing smiles and connection to such a wide variety of community milestones is truly inspiring and shows the heart of volunteer service.
When they aren't attending special events, their "home base" is the Pine Grove Seniors Community. Located in a beautiful, park-like setting in Kamloops, Pine Grove is a warm, family-oriented care home that focuses on the wellness and comfort of its residents. It’s the perfect environment for Anastasia and Ziggy to do what they do best: spread joy!
Speaking of joy, we have some "paws-itively" exciting news—Ziggy is expecting puppies! 🐶 To prepare for her new arrivals, she’ll be taking a brief maternity leave to focus on her growing family.
We are so grateful for the dedication Anastasia and Ziggy show to the Kamloops community. Join us in wishing Ziggy the best on her upcoming leave—we can’t wait to have this duo back in action soon! ❤️
