“My sister Mia and I started East Bay Therapy Dogs to help ease the process in getting your four legged friend certified as a therapy dog and then get you connected to organizations near you. We hope you find this website as a helpful resource to get you started on this journey.

Whether it be visiting young children at a hospital, students at college campuses or senior citizens at a nursing home, having a therapy dog to share with your community is a rewarding act of kindness that brings immeasurable joy to people who need it most.”
