Your Community Needs More Therapy Dogs: Is Your Dog a Good Candidate?

You know how much your dog brings to your own life – share their gift with others

More and more opportunities
There are more and more opportunities for therapy dogs, from traditional hospital and nursing facilities to schools, libraries, and college campuses.

It’s not about perfect obedience. Therapy dogs are highly social with people, good in new situations, and know basic obedience. They come in all different breeds and sizes.

Come learn about training, certification, and volunteer opportunities.
