Membership

Did you know ITD, Inc. is one of the only therapy dog organizations with no minimum age for Handlers?

We view young applicants as the future of therapy dog visiting.  If a youngster can demonstrate an excellent sense of responsibility and proper handler control, we have registered individuals as young as 7 years old. 

NOTE:  Establishing the commitment of the parent is part of evaluating applicants under 18 years of age.  Though not mandatory, it is preferable for the parent to also be a registered ITD, Inc. handler.

'DOG-LESS' MEMBERSHIP are available only with ITD, Inc.  

We are always in need of extra helpers, especially for our larger events.  In February 2011 we added a new membership, the 'dog-less' membership. 

Our 'dog-less' membership is for anyone who wants to help promote therapy dog visiting or work around dogs, but does not own a dog.  The annual fee for our 'dog-less' membership is only $20.00. 'Dog-less' members will receive an ITD, Inc. ID card and be covered under our volunteer liability insurance.

'Dog-less' membership applicants can download our membership application from our website https://sites.google.com/site/idtdinc/. Mail or email the completed application form, a personal head shot (use .jpeg format for photo) and a check for $ 20.00 made payable to ITD, Inc. or ITDI  to:
