Our primary focus is to provide comfort and companionship to retirement communities, nursing homes, hospitals and other settings with their service animals, lifting the spirits of everyone they meet and bringing joy to their daily lives. The animals provide unconditional love and support for the young as well as the elderly. The Red Cross offers free training for volunteers and their pets to become Animal Assisted Therapy Volunteers. Pet therapy animals should be calm, gentle and well-mannered. There are no breed requirements. Therapy dogs should have a calm, gentle personality and are people-oriented.
