Tiny paws, big hearts: Dogs make their bark on LAHS WellSpace – The Griffin Gazette

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — On Friday, Oct. 10, 2025, Orange County Animal Allies brought some of their dogs to WellSpace at Los Alamitos High School for the third year. OCAA is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families in Orange County by providing them with animals to match their emotional needs. 

All of the puppies were very friendly and excited to meet the students. These well-trained emotional support dogs showcased their calm and supportive behaviors, portraying their benefit for humans.

“It’s shown that there is a marked decrease in your blood pressure when you are petting dogs, promoting relaxation in humans,” Sandy, a volunteer dog handler, said.

All six of the visiting dogs gained a crowd of students surrounding them who were eager to pet the dogs and hear the stories behind them. The dogs ranged from young to old in age, each presenting a unique set of characteristics; from Rhodesian Ridgebacks to Golden Retrievers, these dogs brought joy to administration, students and teachers alike.

OC Animal Allies continues its good work through the support of volunteers within communities. There are various opportunities for volunteers to find happiness in working with these animals and seeing the joy they bring to so many people.
