Comfort, Connection and a Few Extra Tail Wags

At Mozaic Senior Life, we believe healing happens in many forms — sometimes with four paws and a wagging tail.

Our Pet Therapy Program includes birds, fish and a golden retriever. These special creatures bring joy, comfort, and meaningful connection to Residents and clients through regular visits. These visits offer more than smiles. Research shows that interaction with therapy animals can:

Encourage social interaction and engagement
Reduce anxiety and promotes relaxation
Support emotional well-being
Stimulate memory and conversation
Bring joy, laughter, and companionship

Meet Shaggy

At the heart of our program is Shaggy, our beloved therapy dog. With his gentle nature and intuitive spirit, Shaggy has a special way of brightening even the quietest day. Whether he’s resting his head on a knee, joining a group activity, or making one-on-one visits, Shaggy brings warmth and companionship wherever he goes.

For many Residents, Shaggy’s visits rekindle fond memories of beloved pets and create new moments of connection. For clients in our care, he provides calm reassurance and unconditional affection — no words required.

Programs like Mozaic Pet Therapy reflect our commitment to whole-person wellness — nurturing not just physical health, but emotional and social well-being too.
