We proudly offer a compassionate team of therapy dogs, each trained to provide comfort, support, and unconditional love in various environments. Whether visiting hospitals, schools, or other settings, our therapy dogs are equipped to uplift spirits and bring joy to those who need it most.
The Healing Power of Canine Therapy Therapy dogs are more than pets; they are trained professionals who can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. They also encourage communication and can improve the overall psychological well-being of individuals they interact with. Our therapy dogs work with individuals of all ages and are particularly effective in specialized settings such as:
Eligibility for Service: Facilities or individuals requesting therapy dog visits must ensure the environment is safe and suitable for both the dogs and the handlers.
Scheduling: All therapy dog visits must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance to ensure the availability of teams and adequate preparation.
Cancellation Policy: We require at least 48 hours notice for cancellation of scheduled visits to avoid a cancellation fee. This allows us to manage our resources and scheduling efficiently.
Visitor Guidelines: During therapy dog visits, all participants must follow the handler’s instructions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the session.
Health and Safety: Our therapy dogs are health-checked and groomed regularly to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and care. We require that the visiting environment also upholds cleanliness and safety standards to protect both the dogs and the participants.
Liability Waiver: All clients are required to sign a liability waiver that outlines the understanding that while every precaution is taken, interaction with animals inherently includes some risk.
Confidentiality: Our handlers are trained to respect the privacy and confidentiality of all clients and settings they enter. Any information observed or shared during visits will be kept confidential.
Feedback and Monitoring: We welcome feedback on our therapy dog visits and may request periodic reviews to ensure the quality and effectiveness of our service.
Our therapy dogs undergo specialized training in handling diverse social interactions and environments to ensure they provide the best support and comfort to individuals.

Interaction with therapy dogs has been shown to decrease stress and increase endorphin levels, leading to an improved emotional state. They are particularly beneficial in educational settings, healthcare facilities, and senior communities.
