A little about our furry listeners: they are either certified through Therapy Dog International or Therapy Dog Incorporated.

Here are some of the requirements to be a therapy dog - (these may vary, depending on their certification)

• A dog must be a minimum of one (1) year of age and have a sound temperament.

• Each dog must pass the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen Test (CGC),

• They must have a temperament evaluation for suitability to become a Therapy Dog.

• The test will also include the evaluation of the dog's behavior around people with the use of some type of service equipment (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.).
