One of
Victory in the Valley's
newer programs is named "Canine Friends."
Over 20 qualified
Handlers and their Therapy Dogs volunteer to participate in this
exciting new outreach. These caring volunteers will offer visitation,
free of charge, at Victory in the Valley's Hospitality Centre, Victory
House, VV Support Groups and cancer patents' 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.
