Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs
Our aim, at Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs, is to provide companionship, friendship and spread happiness to all we visit. This may be in a school, hospital, hospice, care home, nursing home, a day care centre or a business setting. We visit with our own dogs, who have been temperament assessed and then insured and registered with Jack and Pals Therapy dogs as being suitable dogs to carry the title of therapy dog.
Our mission
Jack and Pal’s mission is to bring the exceptional benefits of dogs to people in different settings, through its therapy dog programs.
We focus on providing therapy dogs, free of charge, to any organisation who needs a bit of therapy.
We keep our membership cost low and all uniforms for volunteer members and canine pals is at cost. We are a not-for-profit members organisation working throughout the country. We meet regularly to share our ideas, experiences and knowledge to build our group.

Therapy Dog Programmes
Jack and Pals provides insured and assessed registered therapy dogs and their handlers to visit and interact with people in various settings
All our therapy dog teams are assessed and proficient with some volunteers having extensive experience in visiting with other organisations. Their dogs are well experienced in handing out love, waggy tails and smiles.
We also work with schools and libraries to implementing our "School Pals" programme, where children read a story book to our dogs or where children listen with our dogs whilst our volunteer members read a story for pleasure. Our dogs are non-judgmental but love it when children's fluency, expression, vocabulary and confidence increase.
