Community Therapy Dogs Society

1) school and library centered programs which provide the opportunity for children to gain confidence in reading out loud to a therapy dog. The program allows the children to de-stress and refocus on learning by being with a nonjudgmental listener (the dog\). Our clients are in grades 1-8. 2) visitation program where our handlers take their therapy dogs to visit seniors and hospital patients thereby enhancing the quality of their lives by allowing both seniors and patients to experience the unconditional love of the dogs. The benefit is both mental and physical thereby adding to the quality of their lives. Programs are 100% volunteer run with over 3000 hours given in volunteer time in 2023.
