TOP Dogs
Touch Our Pets Therapy Dogs - known as TOP Dogs - is a voluntary organisation based in East Rand and Pretoria, South Africa.
The primary objective of Top Dogs is to provide comfort and companionship by sharing the dogs with those in hospitals, care facilities, other institutions such as schools and wherever else the Therapy Dogs are needed.
Therapy Dogs elevate the mood of a facility in general, with those being visited showing an increased happiness, calmness, and overall emotional well-being. Studies have shown that a person holding, petting or talking to an animal will cause a lowering of blood pressure, relief of stress and tension, and an easing of loneliness and depression.
We are always looking to recruit handlers with suitable dogs, so that we can reach more people in need.

We would like to find more volunteers so that we can open up in other areas in Gauteng.
