Canine Caregivers Therapy Dogs

Our Mission

We are a small group of local volunteers dedicated to bringing the comfort and healing of a well trained therapy dog to all people in need. Through service and education of the people our therapy teams encounter, we strive to demonstrate the valuable connection of dogs to the existence of mankind.

We passionately serve people in need in the Salisbury, NC area. Our group also meets periodically for a group therapy visit, and to support each other. Each dog team in Canine Caregivers is a unique and valuable part of the group. Through our dogs we have become very close friends. So you might say that through the training of our therapy dogs … our dogs have done a wonderful job of pet therapy on us.

Canine Caregivers Therapy Dogs

We visit churches, schools, homes, colleges, and anywhere that the love and comfort of a therapy dog might be needed.

We will accept dogs of any breed who meet the criteria of Canine Caregivers. We will also accept any person who is willing to become part of the group without prejudice. “Pet therapy” to a member of Canine Caregivers is not about egos, politics, competition with other groups, gossip, or envy. Pet Therapy to a Canine Caregivers Therapy Dog Team is and will always be about bringing the comfort and healing of a well trained therapy dog team to people in need.

Who We Serve

Canine Caregivers has committed Therapy Dog Teams that are certified and insured for all types of therapy situations. We serve nursing homes, schools, hospice, in homes, group situations, adult daycare, special needs, Alzheimer’s care, etc.

If you are looking for therapy dog visits for a facility, a family member, a friend, a group, or yourself…please contact us to discuss your needs.
