Love on a Leash®

The Wilmington NC  chapter was founded in June 2025. The chapter members  visit  senior living facilities, hospitals, schools, and libraries in Wilmington NC and surrounding areas.  Some teams do group visits at libraries and military installations. We participate in many community events throughout the year.

Meet Our Leader

Julie Benoit founded the Wilmington chapter and has served as chapter leader since June 2025. She lives in Wilmington and was first certified 2024; she is currently certified with Zoey, a Malinois/Pit Mix who especially loves greeting medical staff at the local hospital. Julie is a dog trainer and when she is not working or volunteering with Love on a Leash, she enjoys sharing fun activities with her family. Her favorite part about volunteering with Love on a Leash is the joy and warmth she feels when her therapy dogs touch someone's heart!
