I'm the breeder behind Metro Frenchies located in New York, NY. With a combined 30 years of raising healthy and happy animals in our homes, and career backgrounds in mental health counseling and substance use disorders, we believe that having a canine family member or as ESA dog, is one of the best ways to improve your quality of life; mentally & physically.
About Joseph
My name is Joseph and my wife's name is Hiya. I am a substance use disorder counselor and my wife is a equestrian and online retailer of plants and floral inspired products. My wife's career was formerly in psychology then she decided that passive therapeutic approaches such as horticultural and animal therapy were less evasive than talk therapy. Then Metro Frenchies was born.
What makes Joseph’s program special
We focus on the therapeutic pairing of our dogs to homes based on the client's needs and our dogs personally traits and strengths. We also use our dogs in the community as well as make them available to spend time with people in high stress careers such as military, sports, c-suite level executives, as well as for seniors and more.
