Our certified therapy dogs and trained volunteers work with Physical Therapists and their patients helping them improve mobility and social skills. Our goal is to continue growing this program through charitable donations, grants and fund raisers so that our services can remain 'free' of charge. This would enable us to train and ceritfy more dogs, allowing us to expand our program across Southwest Michigan.
