Organizations, schools, senior centers request visits from the group. Visit schedules are set up and volunteers organized for the visit. ​At the agreed time, a group of therapy dogs (typically 2 - 6 as required) turns up (with their owners!), and are escorted to the required location. During the visit, we meet and greet, the dogs are petted and held, sometimes dog "trading cards" are given out.  It is very relaxed and low key, yet very rewarding - for all parties. The dogs provide a gentle approach to connecting with people and act as a conduit for their handlers to engage with people in the requesting organizations, whether they are residents, students, workers, or visitors on site.
