North Star Therapy Animals enjoyed having Dutchess be the center of attention (again) at the recent Cummins Inc employee health fair in Shoreview.

Studies have shown that petting a therapy animal can lower your blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health and have a calming effect. Thank you Dutchess for contributing to the health of Cummins Inc staffers! ... See MoreSee Less

North Star Therapy Animals member Christie and her dog, Sully are featured in the Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest - RAGOM spotlight.

The Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest - RAGOM rescue group does a wonderful job of encouraging rescued Goldens to go forth and help rescue the hearts and minds of young and old alike as North Star Therapy Animals volunteers.When Sully 16-027TD wakes up in the morning, he’s ready to go to work. He makes sure everyone in RAGOM volunteer Christie L.’s family is up and ready to go as well. He’s eager and focused, happy to visit patients, students, and anyone needing a reading partner or just a kind paw. He loves people and he loves his new home in Minnesota. It’s a far cry from his early days living on the streets of Istanbul, Turkey, fighting for scraps of food or even his life. See how Sully went from struggling on the streets of Turkey to thriving as a therapy dog in the halls of local hospitals here —> https://bit.ly/2Cq4Gcv ... See MoreSee Less
