Are you registered with your therapy dog and curious about the benefits of joining the national Newfie Therapy network & team?

You can earn drool cloths, bibs, therapy vests, and other fun items.

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.

We suggest our network of therapy teams use a 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 Chewy but they can be found elsewhere. We like this one by Industrial Puppy.
