Dog lovers and their dogs love getting together with other dog lovers, don't we?

That's why we here at Godfrey's enjoy planning fun events for you and your dog!

  

We love the positive energy flow, the stories, the lessons learned, laughs, the puppy kisses, hugs, and the antics of our four-legged customers.

We have a real commitment to the ultimate health and wellness of dogs, so you'll see events focused on learning more about just that. And dogs, please remember to keep your humans on a leash when visiting us. We want everyone to be safe here at Godfrey's!

 Wishing all of you some fun weeks preparing for the holidays.

 

 And as you go about your holiday planning and shopping, please "share" Godfrey's with your friends! We really appreciate your "word of mouth" in letting others know about us and who we are and what we do at Godfrey's!  

       

Keep barking up the right tree...stay connected and get special offers..."Like Us" on Facebook!

SANTA AND MRS. CLAUS ARE HERE!

SATURDAY, DEC. 16, 2023

1PM-4PM

 

Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus visit us again this year for canines to meet them, greet them, and take your own memorable photo!

NOTE: You will be taking your own photo of your dog with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

This is not a professional photography session.

This special event is a fundraiser for the Phoenix Assistance Dogs of Central PA.
PAD was founded by Linzey Zoccola in 2009. Her love for dogs, desire to serve, and her experience with raising, training and having her own service animal inspired her to create a new organizational model for the field.
Through a combination of consultations and research on topics ranging from rescue dogs, canine breeding, issues with kenneling dogs, to the complex needs of individuals living with disabilities, the inspiration to launch PAD began.

Suggested Donation: $10 for your opportunity to take a photo or two of your dog with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

But no matter your donation-how large or how small-any and every amount will be greatly appreciated!

Receive $5 in Godfrey's Dollars if you participate!

This event will be held in our "Canine Learning Center."
We'll have a beautiful holiday backdrop for these two very special people, Santa and his wife.

First come, first serve! No appointments necessary.

PLEASE PARK IN THE FIRST LOT OR IN THE GRASS IN THE SIDE FIELD.

WE WILL HAVE SIGNS DIRECTING YOU TO THE PARKING AREA.

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

INFORMATION FROM GLENN: “Since time slots do not allow time for de-matting dogs, it is very important that dogs are free of mats. It would not be fair nor in your dogs best interest for me to wash them with mats. It would only make things worse and I will not do that to any of my 4 legged friends. Also, I prefer to blow dry your dog totally dry. This helps to make them look and feel their best. It also keeps them from getting mats. Blowing a large dog like can take over 1 hour and the bath is 20 minutes.”

 

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL GLENN AT 540-319-0052. THE BEST DAYS TO CALL HIM ARE FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.

 

COST:   $40, PAYMENT VIA CHECK OR CASH.

Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services (KPETS), a 501C-3 organization originating in Lancaster, PA. Their mission: "Promoting the Healing and Rehabilitation Benefits of the Animal/Human Bond." Sounds pretty powerful to me!

We held the first KPETS classes for Berks County here in April and May 2012. Charlie and Lake, Barb Emmett's two golden retrievers, had gone through the KPETS program and were registered KPETS therapy dogs, who have since crossed over Rainbow Bridge. Ask her or Pat, her husband, about the organiztion and the program if you are interested.

     Charlie and Lake, ready for a KPETS visit!

First Step: KPETS ORIENTATION session

Second Step:  Attend KPETS Group Evaluation session This session is to assess your dog for future therapy visits. Basic obedience is needed. Socialization, response to loud noises, interaction with strangers, rough petting, reactions to other dogs, etc. will all be assessed. Prerequisite: attendance at a KETS Orientation session.

Third  Step: Two separate on-site evaluations

On-site evaluations are scheduled directly with each evaluator for convenience.

This will give you some “on-the-job” training as well as allow the KPETS evaluator see how your dog handles actual real life situations.

Their volunteer opportunities for you and your dog include:

Visiting Opportunities
Long term care facilities
Reading to Dogs Programs
Rehab – with physical, occupational, speech, cognitive therapies, etc.
Special needs children
At-risk teens
Fun doggie parties and presentations
Community outreach booths to promote animal assisted therapy
Canine Disaster Relief connections / assistance
