We've changed our name

Treasure Valley Therapy Dogs, Inc.

We changed our name to more clearly reflect our mission: to serving the community through pet-assisted therapy and enhancing the canine-human bond through education in Idaho’s Treasure Valley.

Our commitment to providing the same excellent service remains unchanged from when we operated as Helping Idaho Dogs.
