Facility Services Did you know that therapy dog teams
might be found in some very unusual places? In addition to nursing
homes, rehab centers and hospitals, therapy dogs also visit schools
and libraries to help promote literacy. Children visiting libraries
may read their favorite stories to a very attentive therapy dog.
Dog B.O.N.E.S. is pleased to announce our Other places you may find unconditional love of a therapy dog is at family shelters, various support groups, hospice care and at community disaster centers or Red Cross shelters. Many of the humans in our therapy dog teams work in the human service arena as speech therapists, physical therapists, ministers, teachers and counselors. When our dogs accompany us to work, they may interact with children, adolescents and adults who are our clients and our co-workers. All of our therapy dog visits are free of charge. Therapy dog handlers are happy to share their dogs with others. What role can a therapy dog play in the work you do? Facilities are strongly encouraged to write a protocol for visits by therapy dogs and to share these with our members.
