Doris is a three-year old miniature Dachshund and our resident Therapy and Office Dog. She loves to be around people and is a funny little character!
“Therapy dog” is a general term used to describe a dog that is used to benefit people in a therapeutic way. Office dogs are known to improve mood, decrease stress levels and even improve productivity and we do like to keep busy at Bluebird Care! She’s always a great point of conversation when we welcome visitors to our office.
Did you know?.... that petting a dog for just 15 minutes releases the feel-good hormones serotonin, prolactin, oxytocin and lowers the stress hormone cortisol.
Doris works hard in our business to keep smiles on people’s faces and is available to accompany our Care Assistants on visits to our customers homes or on gentle walks if our customers have a special love for dogs. Many people who require our services have kept their own pets in the past and although they may no longer be able to care for a pet of their own, they still love to spend time with animals.
If you would like to speak to us about spending time with Doris during your care visits, please get in touch with our team on 0113 258 9677 or email us at leedsnorth@bluebirdcare.co.uk.
