Therapy Dogs Visit CSN Libraries Monday and Tuesday for Love Dogs Events

A little time with a friendly dog can offer a welcome break from the demands of a busy semester. The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) is bringing its popular Love Dogs at the Library events back to two campus libraries this week, giving students and visitors a chance to spend time with trained therapy dogs.

Presented with Pet Partners of Las Vegas/Love Dog Adventures, the visits are designed to provide a calming opportunity to connect with therapy animals and take a breather between classes, studying and other daily responsibilities. And for anyone wondering whether they can pet the dogs, the answer is yes.

The first event takes place Monday, November 16th, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Henderson Campus Library. The following afternoon, Tuesday, November 17th, the therapy dogs will visit the North Las Vegas Campus Library from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Meet the Therapy Dogs

The dogs visiting CSN are part of Pet Partners, a national organization focused on animal-assisted interventions. According to CSN, the therapy dogs are fully trained, licensed and insured through the organization.

While the events welcome attendees to interact with the visiting dogs, personal pets cannot attend. The visits are specifically arranged around the participating therapy animal teams.

For students and others spending time on campus, the events offer an opportunity to pause, enjoy some canine companionship and perhaps leave the library feeling a little less stressed.
