Dear clients, friends, and pet therapy community,
This is Claire Spencer, owner of Petworthy Therapy Dog Services, and I’d like to share some bittersweet news with you all.
After three wonderful years, we have made the decision to close the doors of Petworthy. I am beyond grateful for the incredible people I’ve met along the way and for every life we’ve been honored to touch through pet therapy across the greater Nashville area. This work has meant more to me than I can express, and that is thanks to each of you.
If you’re looking to continue your pet therapy journey, I’d encourage you to connect with these wonderful local organizations:
- Nashville Therapy Pets
- Music City Pet Partners
- Alliance of Therapy Dogs
And while this chapter is closing, it isn’t the end of Kiley and Lucy’s important pet therapy work! They’ll continue serving the nurses and staff at the hospital where I work, offering comfort and a moment of calm to our front-line caregivers. In the meantime, I’m stepping into a new nursing leadership role in the Emergency Department, a path I’m excited to pursue.
I would love to stay in touch. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime and if you’d like my personal email, please send me a message!
Thank you again for being part of the Petworthy story.
With love,
Claire, Kiley, and Lucy
