Therapy Dogs Celebrating 30 Years of Sharing Smiles & Joy Nationwide

Caring People & Sweet Dogs

Sharing Our 4-Legged Friends to Spread Smiles & Joy for 30 Years

ATD provides testing, certification, registration, support, and insurance for members who volunteer with dogs to visit hospitals, special needs centers, schools, nursing homes, and other facilities. We’re a network of caring volunteers who are willing to share our special canines to bring smiles and joy to people, young and old alike.

Whether you and your dog are looking to become a certified therapy team or your facility would like to start a therapy dog program, Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) is your #1 choice for pet therapy.
