PET THERAPY DOG PROGRAM

Our Therapy Dogs visit Veterans' Homes, Hospitals, Schools, Rehabilitation Facilities, etc.  Beethoven is a Therapy Dog that brings smiles to veterans in the VA Nursing Home in Paramus, New Jersey, and many other places where he can bring his love to people. Beethoven enjoys visiting the veterans at the Veterans' Home s and they look forward to his visits.
Beethoven was the first Therapy Dog on our Pet Therapy Dog Team. We have added a few more Therapy Dogs to our Team so that we can bring joy to more veterans and others who love dogs but are unable to have their own..
