Peaches

Peaches’ calm and gentle nature provides emotional support for children alongside encouraging social reciprocity and helps increase children’s participation in activities. Peaches is a certified therapy dog with Therapy Dogs Australia.

Peaches’ favourite spot is at the beach where he loves to play fetch and dig in the sand. He also loves to play with and carry soft, squeaky toys (or anything else he can get his mouth around to carry).
