At St. John Ambulance, our Therapy Dog teams bring comfort, connection, and confidence to people of all ages.
This holiday season, we’re celebrating the dogs who make a real difference in communities across Canada dogs like Jack!
Jack is part of a unique program at his local library. During ""Literacy with a Lab"" children gather to practice reading aloud with Jack. With his gentle presence by their side, young readers build confidence, improve their skills, and discover the joy of reading.
And it doesn’t stop there. Jack helps create community, spark new friendships, and ease the stress families often feel when supporting young readers.
With SJA, therapy dogs like Jack volunteer every day, bringing smiles to hospitals, care homes, schools, libraries, and more.
Programs like these are made possible by people who believe in compassionate community care. Your support helps dogs like Jack continue spreading comfort and connection for years to come.
