Champ and Chewie
Champ and Chewie are mixed breed rescues thankful to have relocated through goldenhuggs.org to Vermont. Together they form a formidable therapeutic team. Champ and Chewie work as co-therapists with Dr. Elena Ramirez, unless otherwise requested. Both dogs seem to have a particular expertise in stress management and facilitating the relaxation response. They contribute significantly to the therapeutic process by helping clients to feel more comfortable and thus more open to making important changes in their behavior.

The spirit of Tater, whose healing powers were second to none, lives on. She was a help to many in her twelve year tenure as my esteemed assistant, and she will be sorely missed.

Annie came to us through Golden Huggs rescue (www.goldenhuggs.org) after enduring several years of hardship. Annie so enjoyed her second life spending countless hours in the office as a calm and soothing presence, comforting clients in her own special way. Some might remember her for her persistent "hand" holding, or her loud snoring from the foot of the couch. She will be greatly missed.

We said goodbye to dear Shelby after 14 years of dedication. Shelby, “the English Setter who wore sweaters,” started working at the tender age of 12 weeks and became a consummate professional. This despite being a perpetual puppy at heart and larger than average lap dog. Her friendliness and acceptance of any and all touched so many.
