Volunteer Registration is Open!

Do you have a pet dog that has a great temperament? Do they like to be around children? Would you both like to train as Empathy Animal Volunteers?

It’s a rewarding journey for you both to train as a Therapy Duo. Your relationship and understanding of each other will heighten and you’ll be helping children to learn valuable empathy lessons.

Register now and we will be in touch!

Please note we are unable to accept applications from owners who feed a raw diet or raw food products to their dog.

Minimum age of 18 months for dogs, however, you can start the process before this time and graduate when they turn 18 months.
