Heather Parham and her dog Tessa Joy first registered as a Pet Partners team in 2015 and are part of our Community Partner group Music City Pet Partners. On this #TherapyAnimalThursday we want to recognize this dedicated team, who will be retiring at the end of this year due to ongoing health issues for Heather. ⁠ ⁠ Geralda Aubry of @musiccitypetpartners says, “Heather has continued to visit over the last 6+ years [despite her health issues], and they helped out as the neutral dog team as recently as this summer. She and Tessa Joy have visited after-school programs at the Shalom Zone in Gallatin, TN, and they have helped at numerous events.” Thank you to Heather and Tessa Joy for your service! ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #therapyanimals #therapydog #animalassistedtherapy #PetPartners #mentalhealth
