Become a Volunteer Therapy Dog Team
Become part of our dog team and make a positive impact in your community! Volunteers can brighten the lives of care home residents or help children improve their reading skills through our Read2Dogs program. Organizations can train and temperament assess dogs with us to support their work, while interns in education, psychology, or social work can gain experience by assisting with emotional support in supervised placements. The heart of our program is a rigorous temperament assessment to ensure all teams meet our high standards for safety and effectiveness. Join us in bringing joy and support to those in need!
Organizations
Schools, Therapy practices, Hospitals, etc.
Organizations can partner with us to train and temperament-assess their dogs. We also train handlers and organizations to ethically integrate dogs into their organizations. These dogs can then work as facility dogs, providing comfort and support to clients and staff alike.
Internship Program
Education, Psychology, and Social Work Interns
If you're studying in education, psychology, or social work, you can gain unique and valuable experience by working with your dog in supervised placements. Assist in providing emotional support and learn how animal-assisted activities can benefit those you work with.
