Join the Golden Healer Therapy Dog Team
Do you love volunteering and bringing joy to others? Does your dog light up the room with its friendly and loving nature? If so, you and your canine companion might be the perfect match to join the Golden Healer Therapy Dog Team!
What Do Therapy Dogs Do?
Therapy dogs play a vital role in spreading comfort, joy, and relief to people in challenging situations. As part of our Therapy Dog Team, you and your dog will visit a variety of locations, including:
- Children’s and adult hospitals
- Schools and treatment facilities
- Airports and first responder agencies
- Corporate offices, community events, and more
Our therapy dogs create moments of healing wherever they go, offering support to those who need it most.
How It Works
All dogs in our program undergo rigorous training, beginning with the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. If your dog already holds this certification (even if completed elsewhere, with proof of completion), you’re eligible to join our Therapy Dogs in Training Program.
Our program includes:
- Comprehensive training tailored to you and your dog’s needs
- Skill development to ensure your dog’s readiness for therapy work
- Final testing and certification to officially join our team
Your Donation Makes a Difference
As a donation-based program, your contribution supports not just your training but also helps fund Golden Healer Service Dogs, enabling us to provide life-changing service dogs to those in need. The donation covers:
- Therapy dog training and certification
- A therapy dog vest
- First-year insurance coverage
By joining our Therapy Dog Team, you’re not only impacting lives in your community but also playing a part in someone’s journey to receive a service dog.
Let’s build a world of healing, four paws at a time. Sign up today and become a hero in your community with your furry friend!
