Canine Companions has recently launched our Therapy Dog Program in your area. Please fill out this form if you are interested in having Certified Therapy Dog teams visit your setting. Teams are required to have approval before visiting all settings.

Canine Companions is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained service dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. While our mission is to provide highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities, we believe the dogs released from our program can still have an incredible ripple effect in the world through their work as therapy dogs. With this goal in mind, we created this program to certify our amazing dogs to have an opportunity to provide support and comfort to members of our community.

While working, our Canine Companions Certified Therapy Dog Teams are covered by our liability insurance. The details are as follows:

Canine Companions' limits are $1 million per occurrence on Commercial General Liability; $1 million Automobile Liability (coverage that is secondary to their personal auto policy). Canine Companions does not provide physical damage coverage for the volunteer’s personal automobile. Additionally, a $10 million Umbrella Liability policy increases the liability limits of Commercial General Liability and the Automobile Liability. Canine Companions reviews these limits for adequacy on an annual basis.
