Who Can Join?
We are looking for volunteer trained dogs, along with
handlers, which can be brought into schools, hospitals,
or convalescent homes, and other therapeutic settings to interact with patients and staff. The dogs are there for the patient
to pet, comb or just talk to. The results can be as dramatic as sparking a long forgotten memory to simply calming the patient
down during a treatment. At this time we are looking for potential dog teams in the Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley)
area. Dogs must know the following Heal, Left Turn, Right Turn, Reverse Direction, Sit and Stop.
Benefits of Joining
There are several benefits to becoming a member of Therapy Dogs Inc.. You are a member of a National Organization, You are covered by a national
insurance policy with your membership. Our members become friends and we have a great time when we get together with
our dogs. Of course we also have a common interest, Therapy Dog work, and we hope to further our cause smile by smile.
