THERAPY DOGS, SINGAPORE (TDS) is a non-profit voluntary organisation set up by a group of caring dog owners who seek to share the unconditional love and affection of their dogs with society's underprivileged and to provide animal assisted activities (AAA) to meet their physical and emotional needs.

 

TDS was formed in early 2004 by a group of volunteers, which included professionals, homemakers, retirees and students. We provide regular AAA sessions to seven adopted nursing homes and health institutions, as well as ad hoc AAA visits. Carefully managed Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) programmes are also carried out as often as deemed possible.

 

Our mission:

-     To share the love and joy of volunteers and their dogs.

-     To enhance the lives of people with special needs, including social and physical needs.

-    To raise public awareness of the role of therapy dogs in assisting people with disabilities to live more confidently and with greater dignity.

 

 

 

Please note: Images, whether in photographs or videos, taken during visits to our adopted homes should not be circulated (this includes mass mailing, posting on the Internet and publishing in printed material) without the express permission of the home and TDS.
