You and your dog can make a difference!

Are you a compassionate and understanding human who has a calm, obedient and people loving dog?  Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) is recruiting therapy dogs teams to bring their unique caring and comfort to the patients at UF Health Shands Hospital, Assisted Living Centers, and special events with local schools and colleges.  ATD and UF Health Shands Volunteer services will be hosting an informational meeting to tell you about the process and to answer questions.
