Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is pleased to announce the start of a new K-9 therapy program called WOOF@RSW.
“Watching Over Our Friends” @RSW is in partnership with Therapy K-9’s of Southwest Florida. The certified therapy dog teams will spend time greeting airport guests who need some extra care or offer a friendly paw to shake and help them on their way.
Spot K-9 therapy handlers in blue shirts and the dogs in blue vests that say, "Please Pet Me," both branded with a WOOF@RSW logo. At this time, K-9 teams will be located pre-security and wander throughout the terminal in public areas.
