Tell us more about MINNIE:

If I can, I like to do mostly everything with her! She comes with me wherever dogs are allowed including work. During the week we go on “hot girl walks” where we walk 3-6 miles around our Palo Alto neighborhood.

Minnie is a therapy and ESA dog. She helped spearhead the therapy programs PAHS Therapy Paws at the Palo Alto Humane Society. Arlene and Minnie started this program to help alleviate stress around Silicon Valley. Minnie has provided therapy to multiple schools around the Bay, universities and several Tech Companies. When she isn’t working, she enjoys taking naps with her human mom.
