Visiting Therapy Dog Requests

Do you know of a group that would like to meet one or more of our wonderful certified Companion Paws visiting therapy dogs?

TLC’S Companion Paws Visiting Therapy Dog Program offers therapeutic visits to groups for those needing the care and comfort of our trained and certified therapy companions. At this time we are not able to do individual visits in private homes.
