(PRESS RELEASE) NOVATO, CA – Working in close partnership with the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), a non-profit organization that is providing rescue dogs for New York City schools through the NYC Department of Education’s Comfort Dog Program, Worldwise, Inc. (and their family of pet product brands) is proud to be the exclusive donation partner for dog toys, pet beds and pet carriers with NSALA for the Comfort Dog Program.

They even provide a non-judgmental partner for activities such as speech therapy and reading practice, and help improve school culture overall

Our hope is that these product-solutions will help keep the dogs that are part of this incredible program comfortable, happy, and safe, as they dutifully and loyally serve in NYC schools.”
“Through the incredible generosity of Worldwise, our school dogs are comfortable, and have many toys to keep them occupied when at recess,” states NSALA’s Director of Communications Kathleen Lynn. “These donated beds, carriers, and toys from Worldwise help promote fun for our dogs when they are on break and not teaching in the classroom and also create a safe, comfortable space in all of our schools.”
