PAWSable.Life's Professional Therapy & Facility Dogs
Considering a therapy or facility assistance dog can be daunting. We want to help you through that process! We will help you decide whether it is a good choice for your needs, then help you choose an agency that best fits those needs. Sometimes we are the right fit....sometimes another agency might be. We have several specialists that we refer to when needed. Currently, our focus is on working in the Kansas City region. However, we will consider and consult on a case by case basis with clients within a four hour driving radius of Lees Summit 64082.
Cost for a professional therapy/facility dog starts at $10,000 and is based upon the amount of training/tasks that the pup needs/has received or for additional training as requested by you/your facility. Just like our service dogs, we ensure that the pup placed not only exceeds the minimum requirements of Therapy Dogs International and Assistance Dogs International, but also is the best fit for your unique facility needs. First Responsers and schools qualify automatically for a partial grant.
Please note: we cannot train or certify your pet dog as a therapy dog.
Due to liability issues, we can only place the dogs in our programs with approved applicants.
To qualify for a professional therapy dog, you must be a professional therapist, social worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, occupational therapist, social worker, or seeking a graduate degree in one of the above fields. Teachers, school counselors and first responders are welcome to apply as well if they have approval of administration.
