VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH CANINE CORPS March 2021
Happy Spring from all of us at Center 50 +
I will call this lady, Sue. She contacted Dale Turner at dturner@ cityofsalem.net (phone Heidi Miller 503-588-6303). Dale is the Coordinator of the Center 50+ Canine Corps of the Friendship Brigade. Sue requested a canine visit. On this particular day of the visit, Sue was told in advance, that two canines wanted to visit her! Lexie the Golden Retriever, trainer, Dale Turner and Barney the Springer Spaniel, trainer Jay and Kathy Hendricks, arrived with their individual trainers and visited with Sue outdoors in a covered area. These dogs are so well trained that they love to be petted and talked to with absolutely NO JUMPING! The smile and joy in Sue’s face reflects her happiness and relaxation from whatever anxiety she was feeling. Even if it is cold outside, bundle up and visit with a warm hearted 4-legged friend outside in a covered area (even a doorway). Relax and let comfort and joy fill your heart. These 4-legged trained friendly dogs are just waiting for a call to visit. Just contact Dale Turner of Center 50+.
