About Our Organization ![]() Paws For Healing conducts training classes for prospective volunteers. The candidates are also evaluated by our professional dog trainers. After completing training and passing the canine evaluation, the human/canine team is mentored by a seasoned PFH team at a facility for handson training and final certification. Certified C.A.T. must wear a PFH uniform and meet all volunteer requirements of the facility where they visit, in addition to PFH requirements. C.A.T. teams are certified for one year and may renew their certification annually. Paws For Healing provides liability insurance for all certified teams when visiting any of our authorized facilities. Teams may take free advanced training and continuing education classes / workshops which are given several times each year. PFH teams receive a team badge, and become part of the PFH family. Teams receive the PFH Newsletter that is published four times a year. If you would like to learn more about canine-assisted therapy, click here.
