Ekko
Breed : Labraheeler (Labrador x Australian Cattle Dog)
Info : Ekko is our new dog, after Beanz sadly put his head down and closed his eyes for the last time (he was 16 years old). Ekko is a rescue from Suki’s Canine Rescue Crew in Coventry. He was purchased as an autism support dog, but sadly he and the little boy did not get on and Ekko had to be rehomed. He’s a lively, energetic boy, but extremely gentle with it. We are just teaching him a few manners and letting him settle in, before getting into the training to work with us as a therapy animal (October 2022). He will hopefully be ready to join us soon
Benefits : A therapy dog can give many benefits, both cognitive and social. They are truly amazing therapy animals.
