Our Pet Therapists:



MollyMolly M. Schnauzer is 7 years old. Her birthday is May 16th. She was born in Louisville, KY. Sister found her on the internet so she is a modern dog. Guests of the Mercy Hilltop Center find her to be gentle and very loving. The "M." in her name stands for "Miniature."



PepperPepper T. Schnauzer was a 4 years old on February 7th. She is part miniature schnauzer and part toy schnauzer so she is the smaller of the two pet therapists who are here at the Mercy Hilltop Center. Her father weighed only 7 pounds. She is truly a "pepper" who adds spice to our day.

service, but the same
Lord... 1 Corinthians 12:4-5
