Sweetly smiling Shayna spreads sunshine everywhere she goes.
Shayna and Sheryl share the same pleasure from visiting Watercrest Assisted Living Facility, where the people love Shayna, Banyan Assisted Living/Memory Care, Trinity Springs Assisted Living Facility, The Harrison of Wildwood Assisted Living and Memory Belvedere Library, where the children adore the dogs’ visits, and DayBreak at Odell Recreation Center, where all of the clients enjoy interacting with the dogs.
One of Sheryl’s most memorable visits occurred at Watercrest where they were entertained by VHS dancers. A resident there took such a liking to Shayna that she told Sheryl she was taking her home!
During Shayna’s free time, two of her passions are chasing squirrels and riding around the premises in her family’s golf cart. And as far as Sheryl’s concerned, Shayna is, simply put, the best dog ever: affectionate, sweet and obedient.
Not only does this devoted duo intend to continue visiting all of their current facilities, they hope to expand their agenda to include more library visits.
