Help Nena and Ellie be recognized nationally

We’ve just learned about what you might call the American Idol of therapy dog awards. One of Hand In Paw‘s therapy teams, Nena Moon and her dog Ellie, are one of only five finalist teams from around the country competing for the Pet Partners category of the Beyond Limits Awards. It’s presented by The Delta Society, the international organization that registers professionally trained therapy teams. The winner is chosen by popular vote on the Society’s website. There’s a video on the website of Nena and Ellie in action at UAB’s Comprehensive Cancer Center (it’s the last one). So go, check it out and vote once a week through Feb. 7 (with one vote per ISP) and then tell your firends.

Paws on the Patio visits Mt. Laurel

Hand in Paw has announced that Area 41 Pizza in Mt. Laurel will host Paws on the Patio every Monday through the month of June. The restaurant will donate 8% of the evenings’ sales to Hand in Paw. They’ve also promised announcements of additional locations in the near future.
There will also be a photographer from Southern Living taking pictures for an article about Paws on the Patio during this evening’s gathering at the restaurant beginning at 5:30 p.m. They’re asking that you show up dressed in bright spring colors and that if you are part of a therapy team they’d like you to come out to represent Hand in Paw in your uniform. Sounds like a great way to spend Cinco de Mayo while dining with your dog for a good cause – and a chance that you might be an upcoming issue of Southern Living!
