Welcome to Project PUP

Each month, Project Pup runs a certification program for Therapy Dogs. 

Once you pass our screening, your dog will be able to be a therapy dog and can schedule visits to nursing homes, rehab centers, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and air ports.

The pets are screened for temperament and behavior.

It is an important time of the year to fundraise and help so we can keep our membership cost low.

Project Pup we’ve created a small video to show some of the impacts we have on our visits. We visit hospitals, assisted-living facilities, schools libraries court programs, we work with trouble teens and domestic violence.

We are a small 501 C3 nonprofit that caters to the need of our community with all volunteers.

All donations go towards operation so please if you can help us out visit our website. Also, if you’re in the Tampa Bay area and are interested in doing therapy dog work, please inquire on our webpage. Also, if you have any questions, you may contact us through  [email protected]. Please share this video whenever you can to help spread the word about  the help we give to our community through our therapy Dog work.

Interested in making a difference?

We’re always looking for dogs and cats to join the PUP family.

No special skills are required, but basic training is required of your animal and CGC is a plus. Mostly, we’re looking for friendly, gentle pets who are hungry for human attention. (Not just the attention of their own humans, but the attention of strangers.) And for friendly, gentle humans who have a nice way with animals and people and the time and desire to volunteer in their communities.
