Therapy Dogs International

Therapy Dogs International (TDI) is a nonprofit organization that promotes the use of trained therapy dogs to provide comfort and support to individuals in various settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and disaster areas. TDI certifies therapy dog teams, consisting of a handler and a dog, ensuring they meet specific standards of behavior and training. These dogs help alleviate stress, promote emotional healing, and enhance overall well-being for people in need. TDI also educates the public about the benefits of therapy dogs and encourages their use in therapeutic contexts.
