Current Therapy Dog Teams
Volunteering with your dog is very rewarding, but can be be stressful for dogs. A Fair Shake is committed to making sure that both human and canine participants enjoy their volunteer experience. Dogs that really like children, and who are able to with the distraction of other dogs present and treats will be happiest.
Kids form bond with you and your dog, and will look forward to seeing both of you each week. For many, adults have not always been a reliable presence in their life, so we ask volunteers to make every effort to commit to regular participation. Continuity is an important component of A Fair Shake. ​​

Please note: Transportation to Fair Shake schools and programs is provided or reimbursed.
