WELCOME!
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 therapy dog programs that were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to adding more activities in the future.
Thank you for your interest in Capital Therapy Dogs, a 501(c)(3) public charity. You can reach us via email at capitaltherapydogs@gmail.com.
