What's In a Name?

Hattie Larlham Renames Dog Service

William Shakespeare’s fated romantic, Romeo, posed the question, “What’s in a name?” to his sweetheart, Juliet.

Horticultural nomenclature aside, what is in a name? If the item in question isn’t a rose, but a Hattie Larlham program, the answer is nearly 50 years of services for people with disabilities.

Which is why Hattie Larlham is proud to announce one of its public programs is getting a new name.

Constant Companions Doggie Day Care & Boarding is now Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding.

The new Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding logo and Constant Companions logo.

The new name reflects the positive vocational work Hattie Larlham is doing for adults with disabilities in the community and seeks to reinforce the Hattie Larlham mission for new and existing customers.

Customers can still expect the same quality care for their dogs while they are out of town or away from home. The trustworthy and knowledgeable staff will remain at Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding. And the adults with disabilities who work at Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding will continue to receive on-the-job training and vocational development as well as shower all of the dogs with love and affection.

The new name also distinguishes Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding from other dog cares in the area. When customers use the short-term day care services or the long-term overnight boarding services, they not only get attentive, quality care for their pet, but also support the vocational ambitions of adults with disabilities who love dogs.

The change also serves to differentiate the company from the popular animal therapy program Constant Companions. For three years, these two very different programs have shared a similar name because of their strong relationship to animal-based programming.

Throughout the next few months, customers can expect to see the new name on the company’s business cards, letterhead and signs as the new Hattie Larlham name is transitioned into place.

The new name, Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding, will also appear in a revised company logo. The company will retain the familiar dog paw/awareness ribbon/heart logo, with the new Hattie Larlham name appearing beneath it.

The animal therapy program, Constant Companions, will get a new logo to further differentiate it from Hattie Larlham Doggie Day Care & Boarding. Its name will remain unchanged.
