Canine Corps
Visit JFCS clients with your trained therapy dog!
At Jewish Family and Children Services, we believe in the healing power of companionship. Our Canine Corps is a program designed to bring comfort and joy to seniors and adults with disabilities. Our dedicated volunteers and their therapy dogs will visit individuals in need, offering a furry friend’s unconditional love and support. Join us as we make a difference, one wagging tail at a time.
The program includes:
- 6 sessions with an experienced dog trainer
- Learning and connection with JFCS and JFCS clients
- Visiting a homebound JFCS client with your trained therapy dog!
By completing the course, participants will be prepared to undertake the TDI testing. This testing occurs simultaneously with the course’s conclusion, ensuring a seamless transition from learning to qualification.
