Are you registered with your therapy dog and curious about the benefits of joining the national Newfie Therapy network & team? We created this foundation to help our communities and help celebrate the spirit of the Newfie. We reward handlers for their time served and the extraordinary impact stories that they share. You can earn drool cloths, bibs, therapy vests, and other fun items. If you'd like to learn more or apply to become a part of the National Newfie Therapy Network, you can fill out the Volunteer Form below or email us at: newfie@newfietherapy.org
Share the Survey!
Share this QR code with anyone who can speak to the effectiveness of your therapy visit. It only takes a minute to scan and it takes them right to the survey which is administered confidentially by 1 Fur 1. This is a great way to show the impact of our Newfie Therapy teams!

Therapy Handler Education
Learning to communicate with veterans is critical to be successful in your interactions with them. We ask all of our volunteers to take these short, free online classes to be able to better serve the veteran community.
Spend a few minutes and start with this one course. Let us know when you've completed it... it will help you, help our heroes.
Therapy Dog Vest & Patches
We suggest our network of therapy teams use a turquoise blue therapy vest whenever they are working. The vest comes with a service dog patch which needs to be replaced with a 'therapy dog' patch (sold separately). We've found the best prices on Amazon. When you purchase one let us know and we can send you a Newfie Therapy team patch. Make sure to measure your Newfie's chest to make sure you order the correct size. Additional links are below
