Therapy dogs helping stroke survivors with recovery

A charity has issued a plea for volunteer boarders as therapy dogs transform stroke recovery.

An appeal has been launched for volunteers to look after therapy dogs helping support stroke patients in their recovery journey.

Charity Dogs For Good is seeking people who can open their homes to a four-legged friend whether it’s on a full or a part-time basis.

Stroke patients at Inverclyde Royal Hospital in Greenock have been rebuilding their lives step by step with the help of the dogs.

The charity visits the site each week in partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, helping patients improve their physiotherapy and cognitive responses through guided sessions with specially training dogs.
