| Ruth gives Jaya a treat |
Therapy dog Jaya was vacationing on Maui for two months with her owner Melodie Ulman. During those months both Jaya and Melodie took the time to visit Hale Makua Kahului and got to know the residents. Jaya is a visitation dog certified by the Delta Society. She is six years old and is also a hospice volunteer in her home town of Tahoe, California. While on Maui Melodie wanted to give back to the Maui community by bringing joy to some of our residents who enjoy the companionship of a pet, but prefer not to have the full-time responsibility of caring for one. Melodie hopes to come back to Hale Makua with Jaya on all of her future trips to Maui, and we look forward to having them!
