The event was hosted outdoors on a recent summer evening in the backyard of JARC’s Blumberg home.
JARC recently hosted another installment of Dogs and Donuts, an event that brings together the people they serve with certified therapy dogs to enjoy their company and snack on sweet treats. Dogs and Donuts was created in 2022 with the help of JARC volunteer Susan Tauber, who wanted to offer adults with developmental disabilities who are served by JARC an opportunity to spend time with the trained therapy dogs, as interaction with therapy dogs has been found toenhance social interaction and reduce stress for some individuals.

The event was hosted outdoors on a recent summer evening in the backyard of JARC’s Blumberg home and was attended by 39 adults served by JARC. There were five therapy dogs accompanied by their handlers at the event, and the guests visited with the dogs while enjoying delicious kosher donuts.
