Where LOVE is a four-legged word

Therapy Dogs of Vermont (TDV) is a non-profit organization of highly-trained dogs and their volunteer handlers. Our handler/canine teams work on the emotional health of hospital patients, students in educational settings, residents of nursing/retirement homes, and correctional facilities.

 

Therapy Dogs of Vermont Web Survey COMING SOON

As a key part of our strategic planning effort, members, donors, and facility recipients of TDV therapy dog visits will be invited to participate in a short web survey starting on February 1st. ICF International (icfi.com), a premier survey research company, is donating its services to TDV to gather feedback from you and other members, past and present testers/evaluators, facility contacts, and donors.

If you are a member, donor, or facility/program receiving visits, and you do not receive an email to participate in the survey, but would like to, please contact us at ed@therapydogs.org

Paw Profiles

Meet our featured Therapy Dog!

Isa, a bright and beautiful German Shepherd, was tested on June 1 of 2004 after her first birthday. Handled by TDV’s Director of Certification and Training, Deb Helfrich, Isa has been brightening the lives of hospital patients and residents of assisted living homes for 8 years. She loves to play Frisbee, chase tennis balls, and snuggle with her friends. Because of her unusual eyebrows, she has been referred to as a Tufted Shepherd. Thank you, Isa & Deb, for being a wonderful example of what TDV is all about.
