The Giles County Sheriff’s Office has welcomed three new furry companions to its ranks: Amy, Lena, and Zeva. These certified emotional support dogs have successfully completed an intensive 13-week training program, equipping them with the skills necessary to assist those in need. In collaboration with the Giles County School System, these dogs will be placed in local educational institutions, where they will offer emotional support to both students and staff members.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasizes the significant impact that emotional support dogs can have within the school environment. Their presence is known to alleviate anxiety, reduce behavioral issues, and enhance overall attendance rates among students. This initiative has garnered support from local businesses, with special thanks extended to Murrey Chevrolet and Pulaski Tractor Supply Co. store #479 for their contributions that helped bring this program to fruition.
For those interested in supporting this valuable initiative, the Sheriff’s Office invites donations. Checks can be made out to the Giles County Sheriff’s Office, with “Emotional Support Dog Program” noted in the memo line. Contributions can be mailed or delivered directly to the Sheriff’s Office, ensuring that the program continues to thrive and provide essential support to the community.
