Therapy Dogs

Pond Meadow Therapy Dogs

At Pond Meadow we strive to enrich pupils experiences by having animals in school. They provide real life experiences of how to care for animals and build relationships.  

We have 3 dogs undergoing PAWS (People and Animal Well-Being Services) Therapy Training at Pond Meadow: Maddie, Pepper and Jax. They are all at different stages of training. We have signed up to the PAWS Schools Programme which provides ongoing support and termly supervision visits.

Meet Maddie: Maddie is a rough coated Jack Russell Terrier. She is full of energy and loves to visit classes and play in the meadow. 

Meet Pepper: Pepper joined Pond Meadow in May 2023 and is a very sweet jackapoo. She also loves running on the meadow and playing hide and seek.

Meet Jax: Jax joined us in September 2023 and has already made great friends with Maddie and Pepper. Jax is a Staffordshire terrier, and absolutely loves being in school. Jax loves to read with learners and enjoys going for walks in the meadow. Jax knows lots of different tricks which the learners love practising with him.
