Ugnė + Kuna: A volunteer Therapy Dog team in Lithuania.

Ugnė and Kuna volunteer as a dog therapy team in Lithuania helping elementary kids and seniors.

In this 94th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I sat down with Ugnė and her amazing rescue dog, Kuna, about their volunteer therapy work in Vilnius, Lithuania through Kaniterapijos asociacija. Ugnė tells us how she transformed Kuna from a reactive shelter pup into a certified Therapy Dog in 2022, ready to bring joy and comfort to those in need with a personal motto of “giving smiles to the ones who need it most.”

In this episode, we discuss …

• How Ugnė’s journey with Kuna began with tackling Kuna’s reactivity to other dogs, a challenge they overcame together.
• The significant and varied impacts that therapy dogs like Kuna can have, from bringing calmness to children to providing comfort to seniors.
• How anyone can become involved in Therapy Dog volunteering regardless of their professional background.
