About Rufus:
Rufus is an almost 3 year old mini goldendoodle who is a registered therapy dog with Intermountain Therapy Animals and a registered Reading Education Assistance Dog with the R.E.A.D. program.
Rufus loves working in different environments from schools to even dance studios! One of his favorite programs has been walking in the park with people with special needs.
He is looking forward to making new friends at the White Plains Public Library and listening to lots of stories.
Fun Fact: Rufus also does agility in his spare time. For more information on Therapy Dogs of Rockland an affiliate of Intermountain Therapy Animals please click this link.

Do you need any adults to help with this program? It sounds like a lot of fun and I’d be interested in being involved. Jane
