Canine Friends

One of Victory in the Valley's favorite programs is named "Canine Friends." In 2009, VV's Canine Friends Pet Therapy Program celebrated its 6th year of service to cancer patients and families. Currently, 28 qualified Handlers and their Certified Therapy Dogs volunteer to participate in this exciting outreach. These caring volunteers offer visitation, free of charge, at Victory in the Valley's Hospitality Centre, Victory House, VV Support Groups and cancer patients at home or nursing homes upon request.

The Canine Friends Program is "dedicated to providing comfort and companionship by sharing a dog with cancer patients and their families to improve the quality of their lives and enhance the possibility of recovery."

Canine Friends are Certified Therapy dogs who pass a rigorous test to insure that they are well mannered guests. This "warm and fuzzy" outreach is guaranteed to be a "Bone-A-Fide" success!

If you are interested in requesting a visit from a Canine Friend and their handler or if you would like to have your dog certified to participate in the Canine Friends program, please contact us.
