FIRST RESPONDERS
If you are a First Responder who is interested in benefiting from a pet therapy visit or in adopting a Newfoundland dog and becoming a therapy handler yourself, please email us for more information.
We are currently providing pet therapy support, with masks and primarily outdoors, through visits to fire stations, police stations, state police or sheriff's offices, professional clubs and organizations in the following cities and surrounding areas:
Charleston, SC, Clemson, SC
Asheville, NC, Newport, TN, Knoxville, TN, Kansas City, MO
If we are not yet in your geographic location, please reach out to us and we will work with our large network of Newfoundland Dog therapy handlers to bring Newfie Therapy to a location near you as soon as possible.
If you are a club or organization providing services to First Responders and their families and would be interested in requesting Newfoundland dog therapy visits please contact us at:
