CERTIFIED THERAPY DOG HANDLERS: Dogs must be kept at least TWO FEET from other dogs and animals at all time while representing and attending MILITARY ANIMAL PROJECT Veteran events/Visits/Functions. This removes any potential for accidental injury, bites or negative interactions.

Your dog’s safety, welfare and comfort is your first priority.
