The Dogs in the Classroom program is now closed for the 2025-26 school year. The Application Process for the 2026-27 school year will open July 1.

Due to the high demand and limited availability of handlers, the Dogs in the Classroom (DITC) program will be focusing therapy dog visits in select geographical areas. While not all applicants may be matched with a therapy dog team we encourage you to apply by clicking the application link below. Thank you for your understanding and interest in this impactful program!
