For Patients & Families:
Meet our Pawprints dogs
Each Pawprints dog and handler makes their patient "rounds" at least twice a month. These "rounds" include visits with up to 10 patients, along with visiting parents, siblings, friends and Children's Hospital Boston staff. If the child requests, the dog may make a "bed visit" (the dog lays on a clean sheet on the bed) so the child may easily pet the dog. Visits typically occur in patient rooms, although some visits occur in activity rooms on the floor.

Amos Bama photo Bert
My name is Amos. I am a red Golden Retriever. I am 10 years old and I love stuffed animals, almonds, hot dogs and sleeping in the sun. My name is Bama. I am a golden retriever. I was adopted from the state of Alabama. I love tennis balls and going for long walks. I especially love to be scratched just about anywhere and if you stop petting me, I just might remind you to start again! My name is Bert. I'm a yellow Labrador Retriever. I was born deaf, but I know sign language. I love to walk on the beach, and go swimming. I also enjoy treats, belly rubs and naps.

My name is Chloe. I am a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I love to snuggle and to be scratched behind my ears. I also really like peanut butter, playing with the other dogs at the park, and showing off a few of my tricks. My name is Pal. I am a Husky-Basset Hound cross. I was adopted from an animal shelter. I enjoy being around people and receiving lots of hugs and kisses.
