PAWS: Pets Are Wonderful Support


Meet Makwa.  Makwa (which is Ojibwe, or Chippewa for bear) is a lovable 140 pound Newfoundland who loves to visit residents, staff and family members  here at Spearly regularly.  He is a one and a half year old gentle giant who brings smiles to everyone’s faces whenever he visits.  Studies show that pet interactions can have tremendous health benefits which promote an active body, an engaged mind, and a fulfilled spirit.  Improved physical health, reduced stress, improved heart health, improved mood and an increase in self-esteem are some of the great benefits associated with Pet Therapy.  Makwa would love to meet you!
