Who are we?
 
 
We are the Fresno, California-area chapter of
Therapy Dogs International (TDI).
Therapy Dogs International is a non-profit organization that develops standards and oversees testing of therapy dogs. Founded in 1976, it is one of the oldest and largest therapy dog programs, and is widely recognized for its' excellent program. There are TDI chapters throughout the United States and Canada.
 
TDI-certified therapy dogs volunteer in two broad categories:
  1. Health-care related facilities, where they interact with patients and staff. See What Do Therapy Dogs Do?
  2. Schools and libraries, under the guidelines of TDI's "Tail Waggin' Tutor" program. See  What Are Tail Waggin' Tutors?
 
 Above: all these dogs passed their TDI Evaluation! Any breed and any size can be a therapy dog.
