While a student at UNCW, Kelly completed the SDTP, Puppy Development Internship, and Advanced K9 program. Through her time with paws4people, she learned about the life changing effects of Service Dogs. Kelly is diagnosed with OCD and Anxiety, while she has been coping well thus far, she saw first hand the benefit having a dog had on managing her own symptoms, especially during life transitions. She knows that having an ESD will help her to live a fulfilling and satisfying life!
SCHALL is there to support Kelly as she navigates life’s challenges. She also helps redirect Kelly’s attention, keeping her from overanalyzing anxious thoughts. SCHALL also helps calm Kelly’s nerves when she is experiencing heightened anxiety. SCHALL is instrumental in supporting Kelly to lead a healthy, happy life!
SCHALL is an Honor Puppy named in honor of James E. Schall Jr.
