Applicants for an ARFkids Pet Assisted Therapy Dog Candidate Puppy may complete the PET ASSISTED THERAPY DOG APPLICATION

Once the application has been received, members of the ARFkids Preliminary Placement Review Committee will contact you to discuss your particular situation and determine if an ARFkids Dog and the ARFkids In-Home Training Program will benefit your situation. The members of the ARFkids Preliminary Placement Review Committee will answer any questions a family may have as they consider the various programs offered by ARFkids.

Application Procedure

Once the ARFkids Preliminary Placement Review Committee has recommended an applicant be approved, a vote by a majority of the ARFkids Board of Directors will be necessary to place the applicant on the waiting list for the next available litter.

Once an applicant has been placed on the waiting list they will then be required to submit the appropriate placement donation of $1,500 for a Pet Assisted Therapy Dog Candidate Puppy.

The ARFkids waiting list is generally significantly shorter than many organizations and placement usually occurs within one year of approval.

The Cost of a Pet Assisted Therapy Dog candidate puppy

ARFkids does require recipient families to travel to the ARFkids facility in Crockett, Texas to take possession of their ARFkids Pet Assisted Therapy Dog Candidate Puppy and participate in the final stage of the Trainability/Temperament Tests conducted when the Rin Tin Tin puppies are 8-12 weeks of age and ready to go to their new families. The final testing events are scheduled well enough in advance to allow families to make appropriate travel arrangements. Travel expenses are the responsibility of the recipient family.
