Canines for Therapy

Our Canines for Therapy teams offer comfort and connection wherever they go. If your dog is calm, well-mannered, and enjoys meeting people, you could be a great fit for our Canines for Therapy program. These certified teams visit hospitals, schools, libraries, and other public spaces to provide comfort and companionship.
