You notice how he always wears blue?
He had a little blue collar as a puppy...
Now it's a blue bandana around his neck.
He's always worn blue — because we're Blue.
And because he's been my calm in the chaos...

A digital graphic featuring four therapy dogs surrounding large, bold text that reads “THANK YOU” in black letters. The background is a gradient of icy blue and white. Two of the dogs are wearing “Dogs on Call” vests. Each dog has a distinct, friendly expression, representing appreciation and warmth. Center for Human-Animal Interaction and chai.vcu.edu at the bottom.
We couldn’t do this without our incredible volunteers. Thank you for every walk, every smile, and every visit. Here's a peek at the pups behind the magic.

Mental health matters every day. Our therapy dogs help ease anxiety and bring connection where it's needed most. May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, and we’re proud to be part of that healing journey.

Anna smiles under the sun on a sandy trail, wearing sunglasses and a striped shirt. On her back, inside a blue backpack, is Rossell, her 16-year-old dog, calmly peeking out and enjoying the view. They look peaceful and connected, surrounded by golden dunes and clear blue sky.
Luna Rossell is 16 now. We used to walk for hours, just us, breathing, being. She can’t walk that far anymore, but I carry her. She helps me healing. One step, one view, 1 quiet joy at a time

Wandering the woods with my dogs, I’m reminded of their simple magic—pure joy in every step, boundless love in every glance. They ask for nothing but the moment. In nature, with them, grief softens, and the world feels lighter. 💛
