Dogs

We have wonderful farm Dogs at ‘Our Backyard’.

Fact

A Dog’s sense of smell is at least fourty times better than humans and some have such good noses they can sniff out medical problems.  Dogs rely a lot on their sense of smell to find food, potential dangers, and friends, so needless to say they sniff a lot.

Purpose at ‘Our Backyard’

Dogs make great therapy animals offering unconditional love, calming pats and hugs and are a big part of our Animal Enrichment programs.

You will find our Dogs roaming around and keeping an eye on everyone, stopping for a pat and occasionally sneaking into the office for a cool nap.
