DOGS Victoria Therapy Dogs
DOGS Victoria Therapy Dog volunteers and their dogs regularly visit many care homes from Berwick to Rosebud, Toorak and Sydenham. These visits by the therapy dogs and their handlers are making peoples lives a little brighter with visits.
More recently, the Therapy Dog program has branched out to visit dialysis clinics and psychiatric units in hospitals. The group hopes to further expand their visits as the need arises.
All of the dogs are tested for their suitability to deal with many of the unexpected things that they will encounter in their visits. Things that they will not normally come across in everyday life like, wheelchairs, walking frames, walking sticks and hospital equipment.
If you are interested in volunteering with the Therapy Dog group or would like to organise a visit, please contact the program coordinator directly.
