About Davis House Child Advocacy Center
Davis House Child Advocacy Center is a child advocacy center serving Williamson County, Tennessee. The Center provides a child-centered, supportive environment for children and families navigating abuse investigations and healing services. Through therapy support, forensic interviews, family support, and a welcoming space, Davis House works to help children and caregivers feel safe, supported, and heard.
Training and Background
Mabel completed puppy training as well as therapy dog-focused training to prepare for her work at the Center. Through this training, she learned the commands and behaviors needed to serve as a comforting facility animal. Her preparation helps her provide appropriate, gentle support to children and families in therapy sessions, during visits for forensic interviews, and throughout their time at the Center.
A Moment That Says It All
Mabel’s impact is felt not only by the children who come into the Center, but also by their parents and caregivers. Her presence helps create a more welcoming, comforting environment for families who may be arriving with stress, uncertainty, or worry.
By offering warmth and connection, Mabel helps make a child and family’s time at the CAC just a little bit brighter. Her role is a reminder that comfort can support the whole family, not just the child receiving services.
On Her Day Off
When Mabel is off duty, she loves running around outside with her doggie cousins and going on long walks.
