Rock Hill Agape Assisted & Skilled Residents Enjoy Paws Together Ministry

"A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself."~Josh Billings

Dogs are amazing creatures. They are loyal to a fault, always happy to see you, sensitive when there is something wrong, never tire of attention, will listen to your complaints, and will never judge you.

The Paws Together Dog Ministry in Rock Hill knows just how special dogs are and has been sharing its love and passion for animals with the residents of Agape Senior for the last two years.   The volunteers and their dogs visit both the skilled nursing facility and the assisted living facility once a month. The visits are always a huge hit with the residents.

The unconditional love that only a dog seems to be capable of giving is rewarded by lots of attention from the residents. The “fur therapy,” as the ministry volunteers like to call it, allows the resident to forget about their problems for a brief time and enjoy the love and companionship of the wonderful friendly dogs.

Grace Waddell, Volunteer and Outreach Director for Agape Senior and Agape Hospice, states,  “It is truly amazing what smiles and touching moments they bring to all they visit! “  The Paws Together Dog Ministry is a great example of how community partnerships can be used to improve the daily lives of the senior residents.
