Therapy Dog Korra
MDCC has added a new member to the community! Korra passed her Handling Skills Test with Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado and will be around Suite 120 in the coming weeks, as MDCC therapist Maren begins preparing her to work as her canine co-therapist. Korra is super gentle and loves snuggles but can also be mindful of others' space.

Please let Maren know if you have any concerns or questions!
