The Canine Healing Project is a non-profit, located in Greenville, SC. The project focuses on working with the local shelter and rescue groups to identify dogs with the potential to be trained as therapy dogs. Some of our dogs will not have the best temperament to move forward as a therapy dog, however they will still remain in our program until their furever family is found.

These noble dogs live in foster care during their training and receive free daycare and boarding at the Noble Dog. We urge each adopter to become certified as a handler for the dogs we deem appropriate to be therapy certified. Once certified, the dog/handler team can participate in the community therapy dog program, which involves visits to local hospitals, schools, nursing homes, special needs centers, and more.

Therapy dogs provide a valuable service to the community, but they are not to be mistaken with service dogs, who provide a specific service to individual owners. We hope you take some time to learn more about the wonderful dogs we have in our program!
