Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District welcomes newly certified therapy canine

SISTERS-CAMP SHERMAN, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District is welcoming a new four-legged member to the team after Korra officially earned her therapy canine certification.

The district announced that Korra recently passed her evaluation. Her handlers, Tom and Rebecca Gilman, also passed their handler evaluations.

Tom and Rebecca are members of the district’s Fire Corps volunteer group. Along with Korra, they will support the district’s Peer Support Team.

The team works to support the emotional health and well-being of first responders. District officials said Korra and her handlers will provide another source of comfort, connection, and support for members of the fire district.
