At Tubman Funeral Homes we offer a unique service to our families to support them with their loss, Beau the Therapy Dog. Beau meets and assists families at the funeral services for their loved ones. He is a calm and comfortable presence who provides stress relief to families. He is drawn to people that he feels needs it the most.
Beau's training started with puppy classes at PetSmart where he graduated beginner, intermediate and advanced programs. During his training, he was on staff at Tubman funeral homes.
Beau then proceeded to take classes with Best Friend Dog Training where he took Therapy dog training which prepared him for a test which he passed successfully on June 22, 2019.
Beau also volunteers with Therapeutic Paws of Canada where he visits students at Algonquin College on a bi-weekly basis.
He also visits Ruddy Shenkman Hospice and Maycourt Hospice's day hospice program where the residents love to pet him and feed him treats.
