First Responder Therapy Dogs leads the way in addressing the mental health needs of first responders by providing emotional support using therapy dogs.
We wrote this children's book, No Matter the Forecast, Our Paws Are Ready. Therapy Dogs Helping First Responders, to showcase some special moments that have been captured on visits and to share how our volunteers positively impact First Responders across the country.
First Responder Therapy Dogs currently has 300 teams in 42 different states certified, and we are fortunate to have 22 of those teams in Massachusetts. We hope you enjoy our book and enjoy spending time with some of our therapy dog teams!
