A Very Happy New Year to all our Volunteers, Junior Members, Care Centre Residents and Staff, School Pupils and Teachers, Sponsors and all who supported Irish Therapy Dogs during the year. We look forward to meeting you all again in 2021.

It has been a difficult year for everybody. Unfortunately Irish Therapy Dogs had no option but to suspend our service due to Government restrictions. We look forward to an extra special New Year. All of our Volunteers, together with their furry paws are really looking forward to being back visiting all of our dear friends as soon as we are in a position to do so.

We did it again…..

🏆 Irish Enterprise Awards – Best Pet Therapy Service 2020

🏆 Recognition from The Hospital Saturday Fund Charity.

These awards are due to the dedication of all Irish Therapy Dogs Volunteers and, most importantly, our wonderful Dogs

Christmas is forever
Not for just one day,
For loving, sharing, giving
Are not to put away
Like bells and lights and tinsel,
In some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others,
Is good you do yourself.
– Norman W. Brooks –

We can all look forward to a most enjoyable Christmas by doing that little bit extra to keep each other safe and well.

Irish Therapy Dogs very much miss visiting our wonderful friends in all categories of Care Centres throughout the country. We can assure you that our best part of normal will be returning to seeing you all.

These are difficult times, but necessary that everybody plays their part to keep each other safe. With a united front we look forward to a brighter future when the dogs can get their cuddles and we can get our hugs again.

Keep well, keep safe one and all. 🐾🐾🐾
