COPPER and KAISER​

Golden Retriever

Copper (2 yrs old) and Kaiser (14 yrs old), our resident therapy dogs who will be happy to greet you at the door. Give them a pet and they will treat you like part of the family.

 

PIPER & GOOSE

German Shorthair/Aussie mix

Piper is another one of our resident therapy dog who will be happy to take a message when you call or drop by — now if we could just read her “dog paw” writing, we’d be all set. She also loves sitting on the reception chair and borrowing reading glasses so she can read all that tiny type on the screen. She might well be the smartest office dog in the county! Goose is the newest edition to Great Basin. Lots of energy but loves to cuddle on a warm lap.
