Service Description
Many people can benefit physically and emotionally from regular contact with the unconditional love of a dog. Therapy Dog Services takes a volunteer and their dog into hospitals, seniors’ residences or nursing homes on a weekly basis. Partnerships have been established in these kinds of settings, where people are often restricted from having pets, to make the Therapy Dog visitation easier and on a regular basis.
Volunteers are required to undergo extensive orientation related to the service they may be providing.
Eligibility
Open to groups, institutions, events, and others who would benefit from a therapy dog team visit.
