VOLUNTEERING AT DEN
Volunteers provide their time, and their family pet, in this program. All 90+ animals are registered with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs or other organizations and are trained, certified and insured.
Passengers are encouraged to visit with our “CATS” when flying through DEN. Hug them, pet them and take pictures with them. Our dogs (and one feline!) are here to improve the customers’ day in a way that only CATS can!
Experience with a recognized animal therapy organization
All dogs should have the equivalent of one year experience with an approved therapy program prior to volunteering at DEN. Dogs with less than one year experience will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. To register with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, call (307) 432-0272 or email [email protected]. To register with Pet Partners, visit: petpartners.org
Pets must be privately owned and at least 2 years old
All canine CATS volunteers must be registered with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs or Pet Partners, an international organization that registers, insures and supports members who are involved in similar volunteer activities.
Prospective CATS handlers will participate in DEN customer service training and field evaluations
This will ensure that this environment will be a good fit for both volunteer and dog. Additionally, handlers will go through Airport Security background checks, fingerprinting and security testing prior to receiving an Airport ID badge.
All CATS volunteer teams work a minimum of 10 hours per quarter. While the dates of visits are flexible, CATS and their handlers average three visits per month.
