Please Note:
Because our therapy dogs are placed within specific facilities, applicants must be in stable, long-term roles at their facility. If the primary handler plans to leave the facility or take on a different position, they must notify Dogs Inc. We will then determine whether the dog will stay at the facility with a new handler or if other arrangements are needed. In cases where a handler is moving to a similar position at another location that could support a therapy dog, Dogs Inc will review the situation individually to decide whether a transfer is appropriate. We’re here to support any necessary handler transitions.
*For those applying for a therapy dog for a military facility, the applicant cannot be an active-duty military member.
