Bringing comfort, happiness, and healing to people of all ages while increasing public awareness and education regarding pet-provided therapy opportunities.
Door County Therapy Dog Teams, Inc. is a volunteer run organization consisting of certified therapy dog and handler teams. The teams visit local schools, libraries, nursing homes, detention centers, and other locations where they donate their time and their knowledge without receiving compensation.
Beginning in 2015, therapy dog certification was offered through the Door County Humane Society. At that time, four courses were offered per year. However, teams needed to be tested and certified by a different organization in order to obtain the necessary insurance to be a therapy dog team. As a result, it was hard to track and engage volunteers.
Over time, we decided to make our dream of offering ongoing training and support for teams a reality. We decided the only way to keep teams engaged and supported would be to form an independent nonprofit organization. Thus, Door County Therapy Dog Teams, Inc. was born! We are an American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized Therapy Dog organization; and we can certify and insure our class graduates while increasing the number of active teams volunteering in the community.
