Meet our Buckeye Paws therapy dogs!
Buckeye Paws therapy dogs help decrease stress and promote the well-being of health care workers, students, faculty and staff. Buckeye Paws' certified therapy dogs meet staff where they are to offer non-judgmental acceptance and connection. While the program has immediate, visible benefits for staff, future goals include University-wide program expansion, mixed-methods research, philanthropic involvement and program development with partners outside Ohio State.
