Why do we need donations?

Since we began our work 1991, Canine Therapy Corps has never charged any client or facility for a program. We are dependent on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations that believe in the value of the human-animal bond as an important element of human health and well being.

Canine Therapy Corps is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization, and as such, contributions made to Canine Therapy Corps are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. For a copy of our IRS determination letter, please contact us by phone or e-mail.

Monetary donations are always appreciated. You can send a donation in honor or in memory of a special pet or person, and we will gladly advise the honoree of your generosity. We can even send edible birthday cards to your canine friends! Donations can be directed to:
