Caring Canines Visiting Therapy Dogs, Inc.

Where We Go



Caring Canines serves over 60 facilities a month in the greater-Boston area. We visit extensively within the route 95 corridor and from the northern cities of Reading and Wakefield, west to Sudbury and Natick, and south as far as Dedham and Dorchester. It continues to be our pleasure to serve elderly residents in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities, children in hospitals and school special-education classrooms, adolescents with behavioral challenges, and individuals with disabilities at day habilitation and residential programs.
