History
is an acronym for Dogs Building Opportunities for Nurturing and
Emotional Support. This Massachusetts based volunteer organization
was established in May 2002 by Founder and President Jeanne Brouillette.
Jeanne holds a Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and
a Bachelor's in Education and Disabilities. Jeanne's canine companion
is Sir Bentley Bear, a golden retriever. Bentley received
his Canine Good Citizenship and Therapy Dog Certification at one
year old.
The concept for
was developed because Jeanne and Bentley simply could not visit
everyone who made a request. Therefore, Jeanne's idea for providing
high quality therapy dog services to anyone in Massachusetts who
would benefit is now a growing organization.
Our mission is to bring a little fun into someone's
day as they recuperate, rehabilitate or simply live life. We do
that by providing well trained, affectionate, obedient, registered
and insured therapy dog teams (dog and handler) for visitation to
nursing facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools,
libraries and any other Massachusetts location where they may provide
therapeutic contact with the elderly, the disabled, or the young.
All of our services are offered free of charge
to appropriate facilities and membership is open to anyone who shares
in the purpose of
and who is willing to volunteer their time and resources.
