Marina Perkins
Marina the Therapy Dog
Marina is a young mini-cockapoo that loves meeting people. Since she is a Cockapoo she doesn’t shed and is hypoallergenic. She has been trained to greet you when you first walk-in and will lay beside you during your intake. She presently will not join you in the exam room. She is still in-training so she hasn’t master all of her skills perfectly to be a true therapy dog. If you prefer, it can be arranged to have her stay in her dog bed or not to be in the office your entire visit.
