Who is this site for?

 

  • Registered Handlers looking for visiting opportunites and information...            Click here:  

 

  • Anyone interested in becoming a registered pet therapy team...                   Read "What is Pet Therapy?" and "How to Join Pet Therapy" on the left

 

  • Everyone who wants to take a look... Read everything!

 

 

Why is it needed?

Our local family of pet therapy teams is constantly growing! Along with this has come an expanding awareness, by a multitude of businesses and facilities, of the benefits of having pet therapy dogs visiting for them.

 

Until now, there hasn't been an central database for:

 

  •  handlers to find the opportunities available to them 

 

  • people wanting to know how to start doing pet therapy in our area

 

Go ahead...sniff around!

 

 

Every effort has been made to make this site easy to navigate, informative and fun. Your input is greatly appreciated!
