    Description

    Looking for something fun to do with your loveable dog while giving back?

    Scripps Health offers a very special program led by our four-legged therapists -- our canine therapy program. Your dog can contribute to a patient’s quality of life because they provide a sense of peace and purpose. Our canine therapy program uses certified canine therapy dogs to visit and comfort our patients.

    Canine therapy volunteers are needed at all the Scripps Hospitals. Most dog breeds and sizes are welcome to volunteer! Dogs must have a Canine Good Citizen certification. Once you contact us, we will work you to determine the Scripps Hospital location that is best for you. Please visit our website: www.Scripps.org
