Thank you for your interest in volunteering as a therapy dog team. It takes a special combination of person, dog and commitment to qualify as a CHLA therapy dog team. If you havent already, please review our requirements at here.

Joining the Dog Therapy program is a multi-step process. First, complete the interest form below. We will respond with appropriate information on how to proceed with training, the Pet Partners course, the dog-and-handler evaluation, and the final CHLA Application. Please note there is no need to complete an application until after you and your dog have passed a Pet Partners evaluation.
