WELCOME!
We share canine kindness.
Welcome to Capital Therapy Dogs Inc.,
a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Always Be Kind.
Capital Therapy Dogs offers comfort & kindness to people of all ages.
Capital Therapy Dogs is an all-volunteer organization that registers handlers and their dogs as therapy dog teams to support programs in the Greater Sacramento CA area. Our teams encourage children to read and bring joy to those in need of a smile.
At our clients' requests and when we feel it is safe to do so, we are resuming programs that were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to adding more activities where appropriate.
Please email us at capitaltherapydogs@gmail.com if you have any questions about our organization.
Thank you for your interest in Capital Therapy Dogs.
