Alliance of Therapy Dogs is a national registry of certified therapy dog teams. At ATD, they provide testing, certification, registration, support, and insurance for members who volunteer with their dogs in animal-assisted activities. They have a network of caring individuals and their special dogs who share smiles and joy with people, young and old alike. The therapy dog teams volunteer in wide range of settings-from airports and hospitals to schools, nursing homes, and private homes.
