Therapy dogs, cat coming to Western Libraries

Members of the "Canines on Campus" program, formerly known as "Pet Partners," are coming to Western Libraries March 9 for anyone who wants to say hi and de-stress when in need of a break from studying for finals, working on projects or writing those last few papers.

Animals who are part of the Canines on Campus program are registered through several different agencies and have met certain standards of skills and aptitude. Whatcom Therapy Dogs and Dogs on Call are the two organizations which provide volunteers to the Canines on Campus program. Teams of humans and animals (including Smokey the cat) will be located in the gallery space at the end of the Skybridge on the Wilson side of the library off and on between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. through Thursday, March 19.
