Our A-B Tech Therapy Dog program aims to spread compassion, empathy, and, most importantly, "pawsitivity" across our campus. Therapy Dog Teams (Dog & Owner) have regular routes on campus, visiting public areas and staff offices. The Teams also assist with special requests such as visiting classrooms before exams, counseling sessions, or special events on campus. Teams typically serve 1 hour once a week on our main campus. Therapy Dog teams are scheduled to ensure they are not in the same building or area at the same time as other teams.
Therapy Dog Teams must be certified by an accredited Therapy Dog Agency before starting. As of 2021, the Volunteer Program accepts Therapy Dog certification from the following agencies, Alliance of Therapy Dogs, Therapy Dogs International, Pet Partners (previously Delta Society).
