Olive
Emotional Support Animal (ESA)

While I am only four pounds, I play a very big role at Cornerstone Therapy. As an emotional support animal, my presence in therapy sessions often creates less stress, improved communication, and increased comfort with talking about difficult things.

A Little Bit About Olive 

I am a Teacup Yorkshire Terrier & Mini Dachshund mix. My Yorkshire Terrier coat, that I inherited from her mother, prevents me from shedding and qualifies me as hypoallergenic. This allows those who are typically allergic to dogs that shed the opportunity to experience the benefits of spending time with me. In addition to being hypoallergenic, my gentle demeanor and enduring patience makes me an ideal therapy companion.
