Imani, CGC
Imani is the K-9 "therapist". She is a Boston Terrier-Chihuahua-Shizhu mix, (her vet thinks she has some Pug mixed in) and came from a rescue at 4 months of age. Hers is a laid back approach to life. She loves people, and believes she can fix any problem with a few wet kisses! She had her first birthday in April. She has passed a basic obedience class, and just recently earned her American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen certification. Congratulations, Miss Imani!
Aaleyah
Aaleyah is a chihuahua-min pin mix. She was hand-raised by Dr. Hayman from 10 days old, and was the "lead" dog until she retired young, to go live with her sister. She missed her sister dearly when she moved away, and is now as happy as a lark to be with her again. Sister Dog Tallulah is on the left, Aaleyah, on the right. She is about 16 months old in this picture. We will miss her!
