Silent Sidekicks

Danielle and Morgan serve others selflessly to bring joy, to lessen anxiety and to promote caring and respect for all living creatures. My elementary school students are still talking about the "Silent Sidekicks" visit, and they can't wait to meet up with them again. The Silent Sidekicks are beloved in these parts of rural Maine. They go to hospitals, schools, nursing homes and other places where furry friends help people to cope. We are thankful for those who serve in this wonderful organization.

Danielle and Morgan are awesome and have done so much for the children not just in Lincoln but everywhere they go they bring something very special to all. Danielle I am so thankful for all you've done for the children library and staff words are not enough to describe your love of what you do and your dedication caring to all thank you for being part of our community

This organization has dedicated leadership who not only supports all of its programs and volunteers directly but works diligently to ensure the integrity of the program is consistent and that both the organization and the individuals within it are constantly evolving, learning and growing together. The mission is strong, focused and heartfelt around building bonds and helping people through the animal – human connection.

Silent Sidekicks is an amazing organization with a wonderful mission. The founder and her sidekick put their hearts into all that they do!

As a volunteer, Silent Sidekicks is a great organization to work with. Despite being all over the state of Maine and Canada, they understand volunteers' needs by allowing them to serve in their own communities while being part of the organization. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who'd like to volunteer.

I volunteer with this organization with my dog and have seen firsthand the benefits of the human animal bond. we are in a rural area as is much of the state of Maine and are very lucky to have Silent Sidekicks to provide their services.

I have seen first hand how amazing this organization is. I have gone to the library and watched Danielle and Morgan with the kids during the reading program. I have seen how some of the readers have progressed from being really shy on day one to running up to Morgan and ready to read to her by the end of the program.

We visit with Morgan and Danielle at our local library. The kids always have so much fun reading. Thank you for doing the program.

It has been great to watch this organization and its reach grow over the last two years. You do amazing things. Keep up the good work.

I am honored to have Silent Sidekicks come to my nursing home and visit the residents. They brighten the day for both the residents and staff! They are very professional, courteous, friendly, and fun. I could go on and on about them. They are truly a blessing.

I retired a little over a year ago and vowed to give back and Silent Sidekicks was one of the organizations I am passionate about. I volunteer without a pet at the moment but understand the power a pet has over a person who can use unconditional love which is what Silent Sidekick provides for the community.

I can not say enough good about this organization! ! The joy that Silent Sidekicks brings to our residents is beyond measure. This organization is based on values of honesty, trust and kindness. I can not thank Silent Sidekicks enough for all that you do!

I've been a volunteer - from afar! I moved out of state to pursue my dreams but have tried to stay in contact with this wonderful organization. There's always notifications popping up telling us how we, as volunteers, can get involved. It's a great community filled with wonderful people whom all truly have great hearts. Can't say enough great things!

Silent Sidekicks became a part of my life a couple years ago when Danielle first made this organization known to us at Gardiner Health Care. This organization enhances the lives of all ages. The volunteers and therapy animals that visit GHCF have become part of our family. The smiles put on the residents faces as well as the staffs truly goes to show what Silent Sidekicks stands for.

I have been an active volunteer with Silent Sidekicks for well over a year and a half. My dogs and I pay weekly visits to our local health care facility, one at the beginning of the week, one at the end. The mission of the organization is to enhance the human/animal bond, and visiting with people living or rehabbing in a facility, watching their faces light up as a dog enters their room, does just that.
Silent Sidekicks is the perfect opportunity for anyone living in Maine or New Brunswick to experience a fulfilling way to volunteer to help others. And under most circumstances, you can do it with your own companion pet!

Silent Sidekicks is a really amazing organization that gets so many people involved in the community, and brings smiles and happiness to people of all ages. Animals are such a great tool to have in an education setting. The founder and volunteers are all doing a great job!

If finding a way to work with animals and making a difference is something you are looking for, this is it! I was so happy to find such a great organization to work with that has found a way to simply bring warmth and care to others. Everyone i have met has been wonderful!

I am the Office Manager at a local residential care facility. I discovered Silent Sidekicks while we were both attending our local expo. Danielle has a passion for her program and her enthusiasm is equally contagious. I invited both her and Morgan into our facility and was very pleased with our residents' reactions. I am equally impressed with her efforts to recruit other volunteers and their animals into this wonderful service. There is nothing quite like the feeling of being able to reach out and touch these animals. The comfort and relaxation that these animals can provide is priceless. One resident was even able to over come her anxiety of dogs with Morgan's help. I can't say enough wonderful about the entire program, Danielle and Morgan. I look forward to having the other volunteers and their partners also visit.

Children love anlmals and also love to read, so when Danielle approached us about Silent Sidekicks at the Cary Library we thought what a great idea. Danielle and Morgan come to the Cary Library in Houlton, Maine once a month. The children wait with anticipation for the new date to be posted so they can request a time to read to Morgan. This program has been a great success and has helped many readers at the Cary Library with their confidence in reading. Thanks Danielle and Morgan.

I am just beginning with Silent Partners. Sedona, my golden retriever and I are so looking forward to visiting several local nursing homes. Danielle is an amazing leader, always ready to take on new challenges and responsibilities! This is going to be a very rewarding experience for us.

My daughter is in this club. She has been very excited about it due to wanting to work with animals herself. I have been very grateful for Silent Sidekicks showing her that she can follow her dreams of working with animals. She came home last week showing me what she learned and is very eager to start training animals herself. Danielle has been a great source of inspiration for my daughter.Thank you so much for all you do.
