Pryor Public Schools’ Therapy Dog Program is making waves this year, offering unique comfort and support to local students.

 

At the recent Council of Administrators of Special Education Conference in Oklahoma City, these friendly therapy dogs drew acclaim for their role in promoting student well-being.

 

Staff and educators shared how the dogs create a calm, welcoming environment where students feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.

 

Each therapy dog brings relief during stressful moments and provides companionship, directly nurturing empathy and emotional growth across classrooms.

 

By sharing their experiences on a national stage, Pryor representatives exchanged insights and fresh ideas to enhance a program already improving lives daily.

 

Their program, built with heart, continues to show how a little compassion—and four paws—helps students thrive.

Meet Teddy, a lovable Labrador Retriever and Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix who’s capturing hearts at Rockin’ G Animal Shelter in Pryor, OK.

 

This friendly, young pup weighs around 26–60 lbs and is always up for a game of fetch or a sunny walk.

 

Teddy is known for his sweet nature, playful energy, and his love for making new friends — both canine and human.

 

He’s fully vaccinated and gets along well with other dogs, making him an ideal fit for an active, caring family.

 

Teddy is patiently waiting for a forever home where he can share all his affection and enthusiasm for life.

 

Could your family be the one to welcome Teddy home?

 

Teddy is ready to bring warmth and happiness wherever he goes.
