Charlotte’s Litter
Charlotte’s Litter, a program supported by Newtown Kindness, was founded in honor of Charlotte Helen Bacon, a young avid dog lover, who tragically lost her life on December 14, 2012 in Sandy Hook, CT. We, her family and friends, received comfort and love bestowed upon us from local Comfort and Therapy dogs. In honor of our Charlotte and the care we received, Charlotte’s Litter was founded.
Our Mission
Advocate and support appropriate therapy dog programs in educational and societal settings by connecting resources and experienced people as well as providing input and guidance to parents and educators.
Get Involved
Therapy Dogs can help children in so many ways from literacy to stress management and beyond. We want to talk to and hear from Parents, Educators and Owners/Handlers of Therapy Dogs.
We are starting the conversation with a personal message from our family to each of you.
