| Compassionate Canines, Incorporated |
A group of dedicated Fox Valley volunteer therapy dog teams
Our mission is simple
Our volunteer therapy dog teams are dedicated to providing comfort, support, and animal
companionship to people of all ages in a variety of settings.
Compassionate Canines, Incorporated was established in 2009 to provide area volunteer
therapy dog teams opportunities for meaningful visits to people of all ages in a variety of
settings in the Fox Valley. Compassionate Canines members are dedicated, compassionate
volunteers who are passionate about sharing their dog with others. Their therapy dogs vary
in size and personality but they all have one thing in common: they are friendly, calm, polite,
gentle, and enjoy attention. Compassionate Canines volunteers receive no compensation for
visits.
Compassionate Canines volunteer therapy dog teams visit in many settings
Compassionate Canine volunteer therapy dog teams visit in many settings. They typically visit
skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, veteran’s homes, schools, libraries, support
groups, hospitals, funeral homes, and hospice residences. However, visits are not limited to
these facilities. Our therapy dog teams are flexible and open to visiting people in nearly any
environment, provided it is safe and secure for all parties involved.
Compassionate Canines volunteer therapy dog teams are registered & insured
All Compassionate Canine volunteer therapy dog teams are registered with a professional
therapy dog organization. The most common therapy dog registration organizations are
Therapy Dogs, Incorporated, Delta Society, and Therapy Dogs International. These
organizations have strict health, temperament, and testing requirements and all provide
liability insurance to the registered handler of the therapy dog.
