Scott and Ginger initially started with FETCH in 2023. They first trained Ginger as a puppy for obedience shows and she earned obedience and rally titles. But things changed after a visit to see his brother in a VA Retirement home. The home said Therapy Dogs only were allowed to visit and he thought “I can do that with her”. Scott contacted FETCH and “the rest is history”. Scott writes: “She loves people and it is a perfect fit for her. She really loves all ages from babies to seniors and is always ready for some petting. Our normal visits are Holt Elementary school (I worked for 4-j Schools for 35 years and know the folks there) Holly Residential, and Bayberry Assisted Living. I also like the ESD Visits as I'm used to being in schools. Ginger really can go anywhere with all kind of distractions, it doesn't even phase her. My wife Nancy also loved going on the visits but unfortunately passed away recently. I know she'd want me to keep taking Ginger for visits as she owned a daycare for 17 years and loved the kids.
FETCH is a great group of folks and has been rewarding to belong to.”
