Tripawd Therapy Dogs Bring Joy to All

Tripawds make the best therapy dogs. Tripawds founder Spirit Jerry was a certified therapy dog.

He brought smiles to kids and adults alike, and the experience was a life-changing event for all of us.

Many Tripawds members are also bringing joy and love in hospital and educational settings, like Bruiser from Colorado.

Bruiser works with Youth and Pet Survivors (YAPS), a program based at Children’s Hospital of Colorado that “helps to heal the soul and lets children be children again.”

Earlier this year, Bruiser was profiled in this touching news story:

Video has been removed by the TV station. 🙁

  3. My wonderful tripod, Maggie, is registered with Pet Partners. She passed the test on her own and then using a stroller which makes her the perfect height to be petted by nursing home residents. She just earned her AKC Advanced Therapy Dog title. Also, there is another great reason to be tested with Pet Partners, TDI, or Therapy Dogs, Inc. We live close to Purdue University and the veterinary school/clinic offers a 50% discount to service dogs and to therapy dogs who are registered with a national group.
