CES is thrilled to bring back our therapy dog program for the upcoming school year! ❤️ Bella and Rudy will be alternating school days, bringing comfort, encouragement, and lots of smiles to our students.
🐩 Meet Bella: A sweet rescue Miniature Poodle who loves children and cuddles. She is certified through H.A.B.I.T. and the Alliance of Therapy Dogs and has earned multiple AKC titles.
🐩 Meet Rudy: Our former Pre-K foster pup turned certified therapy dog! Rudy also holds multiple AKC titles and is excited to be back at CES supporting our students.
Our therapy dog program is part of H.A.B.I.T. (Human-Animal Bond in Tennessee), one of the nation's oldest animal-assisted therapy programs, serving schools and communities across East Tennessee.
If you do not wish for your child to interact with Bella or Rudy, please send a written note to your child's teacher.
We can't wait for another wonderful year with these two special pups! 🐾💙
