VCU Dogs on Call Calendar

The Dogs on Call therapy dog program provides complementary therapy to enhance the wellbeing of patients, staff, visitors, and students through animal-assisted services. A Dogs on Call team is a handler and their own trained therapy dog.  These teams visit many VCU Health and VCU campuses. They also participate in special VCU and VCU Health-supported events, such as Paws for Stress for students during mid-term and final exams.

Dogs on Call was formally established in early 2001, making it one of the earliest hospital-based therapy dog programs in the United States.  Since its inception, Dogs on Call has become recognized as a gold standard in the field of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI), serving as an evidence-based model for therapy dog programs at institutions across the globe.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this calendar will be donated to the Center for Human-Animal Interaction
