Hello!
Choose Kindness
Capital Therapy Dogs is an all-volunteer nonprofit in the Greater Sacramento CA area. We evaluate and register happy humans and their friendly pets as therapy dog teams. Teams from Capital Therapy Dogs provide comfort and kindness to people of all ages at our programs in local communities.
Volunteer Spotlight
Meet Pat Batliner and her therapy dog Riley, a 7-year-old black Lab rescued from Labs 2 Love. After retiring in 2020, Pat found the perfect way to give back. She and Riley joined Capital Therapy Dogs 2½ years ago and now visit assisted living and memory care facilities throughout the Rocklin/Roseville area, along with special events like schools, the Sacramento Children’s Museum, and community gatherings.
“It’s always rewarding to see how much people love the dogs,” Pat says.
“And Riley loves the attention—and belly rubs!”
Program Spotlight
Capital Therapy Dogs appreciates opportunities to support the Sacramento Children’s Museum, a local nonprofit with a mission to spark a passion for lifelong learning. Kids love dogs and our therapy dog teams love participating in the annual Dogs with Jobs event that highlights different types of working dogs and the important roles they play in our community.
