At Lehigh University, our Therapy Dog and K9 Programs are at the heart of fostering a strong, compassionate, and supportive campus community. Our two beloved therapy dogs, Grace and Scout, play a vital role in promoting mental health, reducing stress, and building meaningful connections between students, faculty, and staff. Whether it’s offering comfort during finals, welcoming new students, or simply brightening someone’s day with a wagging tail, Grace and Scout remind us of the power of kindness and connection.
Our K9 unit also plays a vital role in campus safety and community outreach. LUcy, our dedicated K9, has been a trusted member of the Lehigh community for over 8 years, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all. To continue her legacy, we have recently welcomed Clare, a Labrador Retriever, who will take on LUcy's responsibilities. Clare will spend much of this year in specialized training, costing upwards of $10,000, to prepare her for the critical work she will undertake on campus to continue LUcy’s legacy of excellence in service and security.
Goal - We're aiming to raise $5,000 to support Lehigh University’s Therapy Dog and K9 Programs. Your contribution will help cover essential needs such as veterinary care, training, and supplies for Grace, Scout, LUcy, and Clare. These remarkable dogs play a vital role in enhancing campus safety, providing comfort, and fostering meaningful connections with our students, faculty, and staff.
Your generosity ensures the sustainability and growth of these impactful programs, directly supporting the well-being of our campus community and strengthening the partnership between Lehigh students and Campus Safety.
