Therapy dogs have been a wonderful source of comfort and companionship for women who are incarcerated and separated from their children and families. The affection they share with these animals is a tremendous aid to their mental and spiritual well-being.
Rob Dubuque
Coordinator of Volunteer Services, Dale Correctional Facilities for WomenThe UVM Medical Center Volunteer Services Department appreciates the collaboration, support and dedication of the volunteers with Therapy Dogs of Vermont over the past 15 years. Therapy Dogs and their volunteer owners continue to provide very special visits to UVM Medical Center patients and their families. Together they bring joy, companionship, wellness and very magical moments.

Former Patient Representative at Fanny Allen HospitalThe therapy dogs (from Therapy Dogs of Vermont) that visit our pediatric patients probably do more to bring smiles to their faces than any treatment I can ever prescribe.
