Press Paws! Therapy Dogs for Teens at Urbana Regional Library

Frederick County, Maryland – A unique opportunity for local teens to unwind and de-stress is coming to the Urbana Regional Library. On December 7, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, the library will host “Press Paws! Therapy Dogs for Teens,” an engaging event aimed at students in grades 6 through 12. This program promises a delightful way to relax by spending time with therapy dogs, known for their soothing presence and ability to promote well-being.

Participants are encouraged to take a break from their studies and enjoy the company of these friendly canines. Whether you need a quick five-minute mental reset or wish to spend the entire hour soaking up the warmth and affection that therapy dogs provide, this event is designed to cater to your needs. The therapy dogs are provided by Wags for Hope, a local organization committed to enhancing the lives of individuals through animal-assisted therapy.

The event will take place in the Small Conference Room (Room 302) on the second floor of the library. This inviting setting will allow teens to connect with both the dogs and their peers in a relaxed atmosphere. The program not only offers a chance to relieve stress but also fosters a sense of community among participants.

This initiative reflects Frederick County’s commitment to supporting the mental health and well-being of its youth. By providing a safe space for relaxation and enjoyment, the Urbana Regional Library continues to be a vital resource for families and students in the area.
