TAILS (Therapy Animals In Loving Service)
Tails has been delivering smiles to patients, visitors, and staff since 2002. We currently have more than 35 teams.
Therapy dogs must be calm, obedient, and not easily distracted. They must love meeting many kinds of people. They should know basic commands, walk calmly on a loose lead, and be easily managed by their handlers in varied settings. For our program, dogs must be at least 2 years old; handlers must be at least 18 years old or at least 14 years old and accompanied by a parent.
TAILS handlers are hospital volunteers. All volunteers must attend the hospital’s orientation program, complete a background check, be tested for TB and get a flu shot each year. LUH is a drug-free and tobacco-free workplace. All therapy dog teams MUST be registered with a national therapy dog registration association.
Recognized registries for our programs include Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) or Pet Partners.
