Meet Our Therapy Dogs

Lakota partners with non-profit Circle Tail to provide several therapy dogs throughout the district. These specially-trained dogs provide cognitive, social, emotional and physical support for both students and staff.

Our school-based and traveling dogs help to improve self-esteem, acceptance from others and lift moods, often provoking laughter and fun. Dogs can also teach compassion and respect for other living things, as well as relieving anxiety.
