U.S.A Therapy Dogs is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the wellbeing of others through animal assisted therapy. Dogs are trained and then sent out to cheer up those who need a smile. They are trained and then certified for the American Kennel Club, Canine Good Citizenship in a controlled environment.

After training is completed the dogs and their handlers travel to different facilities in hopes to bring smiles and laughter to those who need it.
