We are happy to introduce the Loyola community to Ashlar, Loyola’s therapy dog! He is 6 years old and was adopted from the Orphans of the Storm shelter in Grayslake. He was originally being trained to be a service dog at TOPS kennel, but he is very social and was a better fit for a therapy dog role. He is a trained, certified therapy dog. Ashlar lives with the family of the Wellness Center’s Director of Counseling, but spends his days at the Wellness Center and on campus with students! He loves: belly rubs, playing fetch, and going on walks! Come visit him at his “Ask Ashlar” sessions (schedule here) if you miss your dog at home, need to destress, or just like dogs!
