To a child, the healing power of a certified therapy dog is immeasurable.

Woof! We’re Glad You’re Here.

Magical things happen when children interact with certified therapy dogs. Anxiety levels decrease, heartbeats slow, breathing becomes deeper and more relaxed, and fears are forgotten. When a child feels calm and secure, not only is learning possible, but physical and emotional healing begins.

We are Roxy™ Therapy Dogs, and we make magic happen.

It’s Roxy’s 20th Anniversary!

Barkworthy: What’s Happening in Roxy World

  • "The first tenet of Roxy’s mission is to bring comfort to children, and there are few places that can be more fulfilled than in the victim-witness room at the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office. The children we serve have often been victimized in ways that shatter their sense of security, and our adversarial justice system may only deepen their anguish. Roxy Reading Therapy Dogs bring comfort to children who need it most, when they need it most. With comfort, signs of joy begin to glimmer through, and while they are with Roxy Dogs and staff, their stressors abate, and they can find the peace of childhood once again."

    Jennifer M. Schorn, Bucks County District Attorney
