Come say hello to a potential new pet therapy team, Archie & Tim.

“Archie is a five year old black labrador retriever.  He was born in Patterson, NY at The Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization that provides guide dogs to individuals with vision loss. He was a smart, curious and attentive newborn puppy, but it was determined early on that he should be a “career changer” and placed in a loving home where he can thrive as an active, fun and adoring member of a family. So, in June of 2020, in the beginning days of the Covid -19 pandemic, he bounded into the Brookline home of the Mulder-McCormack’s. He quickly established himself as a devoted companion to his mom, dad and two older brothers. He definitely doesn’t like to miss out on any family activities.

Archie likes to have fun and is always looking for an opportunity to play with canine and human companions. Favorite activities include playing chase, tug and keep away. Oddly, for his breed, he doesn’t really like to retrieve. Equally of interest, is food. Meal times are an eagerly anticipated and a cherished part of his day. Though, he’s not one to linger over his bowl with remarkable efficiency in completing a meal well under thirty seconds.

His loving nature and calm demeanor have allowed Archie to find his true calling - as a therapy dog. He looks forward to meeting all of you.”
