Ninja is a local mixed breed who was abandoned in a field and left tied to a tree to die. Even though Ninja was starving when he was found, he ignored the food offered focusing only on his need for human contact.   Realizing his special connection with people, Ninja was brought back to  health, tested and trained for Therapy Dog work.  Following his first  successful year of being a Therapy Dog in 2014, Ninja's keen senses have been  further trained to support his handler, Janice, as her Medical Service  dog. Ninja enjoys traveling and teaching around the world!

Lacy is a local mixed breed who was abandon and found by Nevis Animal Speak.  Her SUPER friendly and gentle nature made her Therapy Dog training a real pleasure.  Lacy LOVES everyone!  People, cats, dogs and more!  She is gentle, loves playing fetch and enjoys getting treats for a job well done!  The smallest and happiest of our team, Lacy is quickly becoming a favorite with all she meets!

Bearette was adopted at 4 months old after  being found alone in the woods.  She was a smart and playful puppy who  was very athletic and an excellent swimmer.

Although originally trained as a Therapy Dog, Bearette also doubles as a medical Medical Service dog for her handler Janice. Bearette has taught in the US, Hong Kong, Mexico and  Nevis. We are thrilled she is sharing her kind and gentle nature with the many  people she visits around around the world!
