thank you for your service
My dog is ready to retire or has passed away. What are the next steps I should take?
We are deeply appreciative of the beloved pets who have retired from their meaningful work as therapy dogs. We extend our sincere condolences to the handlers who have lost a cherished companion.
When you are ready, please contact Heidi Carman at Heidi@firstrespondertherapydogs.org to share the news of your therapy dog's retirement or passing. We would like to honor and celebrate the meaningful work you and your canine partner accomplished together. Your dog's legacy will live on through all the lives they touched and communities they served.
