JOY Dogs

Who

JOY Dogs has been serving the educational sector since 2011. It has been our mission to educate learners about responsible pet ownership and safety around dogs. We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to teach children from young so that they grow up to be responsible pet owners.

How

We then responded to a need of visiting institutions for the therapeutic and caring aspect that the dogs bring. We visit physically and mentally challenged people in institutions and aged facilities. This is now our primary focus.

Why

By popular demand we started the wellness division of the JOY dogs in the second half of 2013. The JOY Dogs will now come to your business to entertain your staff leaving them feeling much more motivated.
