Slater is our therapy assistant dog with a very specialised skill set: offering gentle emotional support, cautiously accepting new friendships, and expertly locating unattended chips at the beach. She can be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she loves a pat, a cuddle, and the occasional opportunity to lovingly disrupt a beach picnic.

Medina is our apprentice therapy dog, currently learning the ropes from her boss, Slater. She has already mastered some of Slater’s most important skills, including providing emotional support, bringing joyful chaos, and attempting to steal picnic food from unsuspecting beachgoers. Medina is full of energy, loves meeting people, and is always happy to receive a pat — although a belly rub is definitely her preferred form of payment.
