De-Stressing with Dogs
PULLMAN, WASH — PAWS, Pups Assisting With Stress, will host a kick-off event for the new non-profit at noon on April 4, 2019 at Pups and Cups in downtown Pullman. The intention of this event is to provide an example of the services that will begin early March at PAWS by providing emotional support animals to the public. PAWS will bring its entire fleet of therapy dogs for a meet and greet with WSU students. The event will feature a signature cocktail and signature 'mocktail' created by the bartender, along with a photo booth where guests will take a picture with their favorite pup. All proceeds go toward the company's mission to bring therapy dogs to college students at a low cost. "The simple act of petting a dog has been proven to increase serotonin levels in humans," said Megan Guido, Chief Marketing & Community Relations Officer, Pullman Regional Hospital. "PAWS' idea to make such a program available year-round made perfect sense. Why not give kids some positive avenues to stress relief?" “Science demonstrates that the introduction of pets into high-stress environments helps to boost morale and encourage a culture of mental wellness and serenity,” said Glenn Johnson, Mayor at City of Pullman. "We are excited to showcase our non-profit to the wonderful community of Pullman," said Emma Troutman, VP Communications of PAWS. To learn more about PAWS, visit https://wsupaws.weebly.com.
