County Seniors to Host Birthday Party for Therapy Dog

Local seniors will host a birthday party on July 16 for therapy dog Wall-E in honor of his six years of service in the Woodbridge Senior Day Program. 

The Prince William Area Agency on Aging's Woodbridge Senior Day Program provides adult day care to seniors and other adults who need assistance. 

"Wall-E and other therapy dogs...have been visiting the Day Program twice a week for the last six years," said Courtney Tierney, director of the PWAAA. "Other canine guests include therapy dogs Oliver and Sage."

Wall-E was trained by Therapy Dogs, Inc., which has a chapter in Manassas.

"The organization trains, prepares and tests dogs and handlers to interact with seniors, children and patients in hospitals," Tierney said. 

The party will be at 2 p.m. at the Dr. A. J. Ferlazzo Building at 15941 Donald Curtis Dr. in Woodbridge.
