We are a group of dog-lovers who share a concern for those suffering from emotional and mental illness and loneliness. We believe that the company of dogs can help.
Alan Harman started Sunshine Therapy Dogs in 2020. He was inspired by the warm, calming effect his daughter’s Bernese Mountain Dog Hershey had on people. Since then, Alan’s dog Tico, along with over 200 other volunteer dogs, has been hanging out with, and getting belly rubs from, students, seniors and employees across the GTA.
We are currently looking to expand our services to Toronto, Durham, York, Peel, Halton, Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington, Hamilton, Niagara, Guelph, and Peterborough to the west and Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa to the east.
Physical contact with a dog can alleviate social isolation, depression and anxiety in young adults.
The presence of dogs helps reduce depression and loneliness among the elderly.
Employees that work in dog-friendly workplaces have reduced stress levels compared to employees in non-dog friendly workplaces.
We have over 200 wagging tails and warm hearts ready to reduce stress and bring a sense of calm. Meet our amazing therapy dogs who can make a positive difference in your day.
Whether you’re seeking a personalized session or organizing a group visit, we’re eager to bring the warmth and companionship of our dogs directly to you.
The benefits of human-dog interaction have been studied in-depth and are well-proven.
By donating to Sunshine Therapy Dogs, you can directly support our mission to make therapy dogs free and accessible to as many as possible.
