• $2M comprehensive general liability insurance for all volunteers.

• Background checks performed as part of the registration process assure facilities that a handler’s history does not preclude them from visiting with vulnerable populations.

• Team re-evaluation every two years to ensure the suitability of the Therapy/Intervention Team as they mature.

• Stringent infection control protocols, including thorough grooming standards, required hand hygiene before and after any interaction, and the exclusion of raw meat diets.

• Veterinarian health screening which provides a professional opinion that the animal is up to the work of being a therapy animal and not taking antibiotics, immunosuppressive drugs, or antifungal medications.
