Photo: In 2023, the Elk County Courthouse was awarded a grant from the Harrison and Muriel Dauer Stackpole Fund held at the Elk County Community Foundation for an “Elk County Facility Dog”. The project’s primary purpose is to provide vulnerable children and their families with canine support during the interview and testimonial phases of the judicial process. The facility dog will also reduce anxiety and stress for children, their families, and other participants in court-related proceedings.
