Dexter Rotary Club has been providing comfort dogs to Dexter Community Schools since 2011. Currently, Kota is working at Mill Creek Middle School and Maisie is working at Creekside Intermediate School. They are housed and cared for by Marianne Mutschler and Cali McKenney, respectively. The dogs were purchased from the Leader Dogs for the Blind based in Rochester, MI. Kota and Maisie came very close to completing their training but in the end, were unable to graduate as leader dogs. Now they serve the children, staff and family in our schools. We are especially grateful for the generosity of Dexter Mill for providing Maisie and Kota with their nutritional needs and to Village Animal Clinic for Kota’s veterinary needs.
We are asking our community if a veterinarian is available to provide for Maisie’s health care. These special creatures could also use some loving care if anyone knows of a groomer who would be willing to donate their services to keep Kota and Maisie styling.
Here you see both dogs on the job with their new harnesses provided by Dexter Rotary; Kota with Marianne Mutschler and Maisie with Kate Whitcher and Kenna Oesterle.
