join our volunteer therapy dog program

We have created our Volunteer Therapy Dog Program to form a network of caring individuals and their personal therapy dogs who are willing to spread joy and happiness by visiting people residing in veterans homes, rehabilitation centers, schools, hospitals, etc. Join us in spreading joy and love to those people who love dogs but are unable to have their own.

If you are interested in being a valuable part of our Volunteer Therapy Dog Program, please fill out the application below and we will get in contact with you as soon as possible.

VOLUNTEER THERAPY DOG PROGRAM APPLICATION

What makes a good therapy dog?

  • A certified therapy dog must be friendly, patient, confident, gentle, and at ease in all situations. Therapy dogs must enjoy human contact and be content to be petted, cuddled, and handled, sometimes clumsily, by unfamiliar people and to enjoy that contact.

Requirements of the dog:

  • A therapy dog must be current on all vaccines required by the local laws, have a negative fecal test every 12 months, and be clean and well groomed for each visit.

This is how our Therapy Dog, Paprika “Rika” spent part of her afternoon at the VA. I think my heart has melted and is leaking out of my eyes.
