To a child, the healing power of a certified therapy dog is immeasurable.

Woof! We’re Glad You’re Here.

Magical things happen when children interact with certified therapy dogs. Anxiety levels decrease, heartbeats slow, breathing becomes deeper and more relaxed, and fears are forgotten. When a child feels calm and secure, not only is learning possible, but physical and emotional healing begins.

We are Roxy™ Therapy Dogs, and we make magic happen.

  • "The first tenet of Roxy’s mission is to bring comfort to children, and there are few places that can be more fulfilled than in the victim-witness room at the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office. The children we serve have often been victimized in ways that shatter their sense of security, and our adversarial justice system may only deepen their anguish. Roxy Reading Therapy Dogs bring comfort to children who need it most, when they need it most. With comfort, signs of joy begin to glimmer through, and while they are with Roxy Dogs and staff, their stressors abate, and they can find the peace of childhood once again."

    Jennifer M. Schorn, Bucks County District Attorney

  • “What a gift Roxy Readers is to my special education students! We love the bond between handlers, dogs, students, and teachers. A dog has a special power: to bring calm to anxiety, to bring a smile to sadness, to motivate and encourage — even the most reluctant readers. To have a trusting face of fur look up to a child as they tackle the daunting array of letters on a page is magical to watch. We are so grateful for Roxy in the Central Bucks School District and look forward to many years ahead with our fluffy partners in literacy.”

    Eve Packel, Pine Run Elementary, Special Education Teacher

  • "Roxy dogs and their handlers are part of the DNA of CB East. The students and staff light up when they visit proactively, or as part of a club, and they bring with them a welcome wave of unconditional love, combined with needed moments of peace, during times of crisis. We benefit tremendously from our work with Roxy and are so grateful for our partnership."

    Chad Watters, Principal, Central Bucks East High School

  • "Roxy Therapy Dogs and their handlers have become cherished members of the Gayman school community. When these wonderful dogs visit, the students' faces light up with joy and excitement. For many students, the presence of the therapy dogs opens up new pathways to learning, helping them to engage more fully with their academics. Additionally, the therapy dogs play a crucial role in managing stress and anxiety, providing comfort and emotional support. The positive impact of Roxy Therapy Dogs is difficult to fully capture in words, but you can see their impact in the smiles and calmness they bring to our students, making our school a more nurturing and supportive environment for everyone. Thank you, Roxy!!!"

    Shawn Ortman, Principal, Gayman Elementary School
