The Center for Discovery's (TCFD) Assisted Intervention and Education program has forged a partnership with Catskill Animal Rescue to enhance its Animal Assisted Therapy initiative. This joint effort aims to supply the program with rescued puppies and dogs, ultimately benefiting individuals at the center who are grappling with complex conditions, such as autism.

Scout, who is believed to be a beagle/Jack Russell mix, came to TCFD after being adopted from Catskill Animal Rescue in Liberty, NY, on June 5, 2023 and is currently in training.

Patricio Robayo reports on the program and how the animals are uniquely trained.
