Therapy Dog Visits

Helping Idaho Dogs  strives to connect our certified therapy dog teams to locations requesting one-time or recurring visits from therapy dogs to bring the mental and physical enrichment, joy, and comfort our therapy dog teams can bring. We provide  mentoring, support and encouragement to our certified therapy dog teams  to keep our teams current with the latest   certification skills.

This Month's Favorite Moments

Our Teams in Action
Kirby_2023 BSU kickoff_edited.jpg

Kirby was one of  four Helping Idaho Dogs therapy dos that participated in the Bronco-Fit welcome event at BSU on the first day of the Fall 2023 semester.  Our pups offered pets, warm hearts, and cold noses to returning and new students at the event.

Helping Idaho Dogs enjoys serving schools and colleges in the Treasure Valley offering pets and wags to brighten the days of student and faculty.

We love our first responders and welcome the opportunity to visit with them.
