Service Description:

Therapy Dog program brings comfort and companionship to the seniors, sick children, palliative care patients and the physically or mentally challenged people in community
The Peel Branch Therapy dog teams have three Therapy Dog Divisions: Mississauga, Brampton and Dufferin County
Anyone who has a well mannered, clean dog over the age of 1 with a wonderful temperament can join the program once the dog has been assessed with St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Evaluation
Volunteers make a commitment to visit the same people with the same dog on a regular weekly basis. The commitment of visiting should be at least 5 hours a month
