Therapy Dogs
International, Inc. is a volunteer group organized to provide
qualified handlers and their Therapy Dogs for visitations to
institutions, facilities and any other place where Therapy Dogs are needed.
The primary
objective of the TDI dog and handler is to provide comfort and
companionship by sharing the dog with the patients in hospitals,
nursing homes and other institutions and wherever else the Therapy
Dog is needed. This is done in a way that increases emotional well
being, promotes healing, and improves the quality of life for the
people being visited and the staff that cares for these people. -An
