Three of ours are Therapy Dogs. Plan to make Eeyore one as soon as he calms down some. They have to be a year old to be tested.

Best of Luck! Let me know if you need anything

Three of ours are Therapy Dogs. Plan to make Eeyore one as soon as he calms down some. They have to be a year old to be tested. That is great! Three of mine are working therapy dogs too. When I fully retire Apache from it; I will probably test one of the girls. Take a peek at what I put up and let me knwo if you think anything else needs to be tweaked or added. I'd appreciate it :)
