For Marcia, avoiding volunteer burnout is essential in order to continue sharing her Therapy Dog Charlie with others.

In this 43rd episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Marcia and her Golden Retriever, Charlie, about their inspiring volunteer journey as an American Kennel Club (AKC) Therapy Dog team in Georgia. We focus on the importance of avoiding volunteer burnout and maintaining a healthy balance for both the handler and their dog.

In this episode, we discuss …

• Why the book Madeline Finn and the Therapy Dog holds so much meaning for Marcia.
• How Charlie is a good fit for Therapy Dog work.
• What Marcia does to help protect Charlie from volunteer burnout.
