Therapy on a Leash began in the spring of 1996. Allison Welder obtained a chocolate brown Labrador Retriever puppy and named her LuLu. LuLu and Allison went through various levels of obedience and skills training. LuLu became a nationally registered therapy dog with Delta Society and Therapy Dogs International. Allison and LuLu started their team therapy work in Oklahoma City at Children's and St. Anthony's hospitals in 1997. Upon moving to Las Vegas, we became a member of the K9 Therapists of Las Vegas and have volunteered at University Medical Center, Nathan Adelson Hospice, and Sunrise Children's Hospital. We currently visit the children at Sunrise 2-4 times per month. For the last decade, the mission of Therapy on a Leash, Inc. has been to cheer the sick, inspire the hopeless, and provide unconditional love.
