🐾 New at Farmigos CIC – Dog Therapy with Laura & Sadie 🐾

We are delighted to introduce a new wellbeing activity at Farmigos CIC – Dog Therapy with Laura and her gentle English Labrador, Sadie 🦮❤️

Laura is an experienced practitioner who currently works in a residential care setting and is also employed through the NHS. She previously worked in a school supporting children with Additional Support Needs (ASN). Alongside her professional work, Laura is also a busy mum of two daughters.

🐶 Sadie is a beautiful two-year-old English Labrador with a kind, calm and loving nature. She has been part of Laura’s family since she was 14 weeks old. Sadie loves playing with her ball, carrying her teddy and exploring with lots of sniffs. She is very gentle and relaxed, wonderful with children and adults, and super friendly with other dogs and animals. Her favourite things are **belly rubs, cuddles and spending time with people**.

🫶 Session details
• 1:1 sessions lasting ⏳️1 hour
• £25 per session
• Held on our farm in Auchengray, in our lovely Collie Hut 🛖

The hut is set up to create a calm and welcoming space. One side has a comfortable sofa and pillows, making a cosy and relaxing environment for the therapy session. The other side of the hut welcomes family members, where they can **relax with a cup of tea or coffee** while the session takes place.
