First Lady Justice welcomes newest Friends With Paws therapy dogs at Hampshire High School and Keyser Middle School

"I am absolutely thrilled to welcome two new therapy dogs to Hampshire High School and Keyser Middle School as part of our Friends With Paws program," First Lady Cathy Justice said. "These wonderful dogs bring so much comfort, joy, and emotional support to our students, and I can't wait to see the positive impact they'll have on these school communities. Our students' well-being is always a top priority, and I'm so proud to expand this program to touch even more young lives across West Virginia."

The Friends With Paws program places certified therapy dogs in several Communities In Schools sites across the state, providing companionship and comfort for students in need of a boost. As of today, 38 Friends With Paws therapy dogs have been placed across the state.

The Friends With Paws therapy dogs are specially trained to provide comfort and support to people in various tense environments. They can help people feel at ease, improve their mood, relieve anxiety, and remove social barriers. Therapy dogs are highly trained and certified to show their ability to work in stressful environments, ignore distractions, and provide therapy to people with diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
