Founded
March 14, 2004

We are currently a small and friendly, but very active pet-assisted therapy group of folks of all ages, who are committed to the cause. Some members provide services voluntarily, others for a fee. We are scattered throughout the entire states of RI and MA. We are a partner with Community Canines for Companionship & Care. We offer Temperment testing and classes to become certified pet assisted therapy teams.

What members are saying

“ Excellent concept for those of us interested in sharing our pets with the community. Great support, creative ideas and excitement. We just need more people to generate even more excitement! ”

“ Great group ”

      “I am a new english bulldog owner, I am also an apprentice funeral director. Many times I visit nursing homes under sad terms. I have witnessed the smiles therapy pets bring and I think a bulldog is a face that makes everyone smile LOL”

      “I would like to know if my dog would make a good therapy dog. We are interested as a team to do some good. Before I looked into a training program I wanted to make sure we would be a good fit.”

      “I have a Calvalier King Charles Spaniel named Riley, and I am very interested in getting him involved in pet therapy. I am a registered nurse in home care and my ultimate goal would be to bring pet therapy to home care.”
