AMR Welcomes New Therapy Dog Rampart

American Medical Response San Bernardino County is pleased to share that Rampart has recently passed his Certified Therapy Dog exam! AMR acquired Rampart when he was 10 weeks old and he is now a year and a half. At the age of 4 months, he started basic obedience classes progressing through Advanced Obedience Classes. At 8 months he passed his Canine Good Citizen Certification (CGC) which tests the dogs by AKC standards of obedience. Since then, he started with a local therapy dog group, but due to the pandemic, this group was suspended. Rampart has visited all San Bernardino County AMR and Reach Operations for various visits and after critical calls. In addition, he has visited Victor Valley Paramedic program, our County Supervisor, and local hospitals to meet with their staff after some critical calls to provide emotional support. Now that he is certified, he joins the GMR Therapy Dog Team, one of 22 dogs across the country ready to respond to our caretakers wherever he is assigned. Ramparts handlers are Mike Romo (Operations Manager Victorville AMR) and Leo Lara (Operations Supervisor Victorville AMR). AMR staff is proud of his accomplishments and happy to have him as part of the family! Go Rampart! #AMR #GMR #Rampart For more local news and information click here.
