WHAT IS CANINE THERAPY CORPS?

Since 1991, Canine Therapy Corps’ volunteers and certified therapy dogs have been serving the Chicago metropolitan area and helping people recover from physical and emotional trauma. We tailor our programs to meet the therapeutic objectives of the specific population served. Programs are goal-directed and interactive, so working with a Canine Therapy Corps dog is an integral part of each participant’s recovery.

The foundation of Canine Therapy Corps' successful animal-assisted therapy (AAT) programs is the strength of the human-animal bond, which encourages and empowers individuals facing and overcoming personal challenges. The continuous and immediate positive feedback provided in AAT sessions catalyzes the motivation necessary to persevere during difficult or painful therapy.

Our Mission

Canine Therapy Corps empowers and motivates individuals to improve their physical and psychological health and well-being by harnessing the human-animal bond; provides goal-directed, interactive animal-assisted therapy services free of charge using volunteers and certified therapy dogs; and advances animal-assisted interventions through research and collaboration.
