Established in 1995, H.O.P.E. of Valparaiso Kennel Club is a group of approximately 15 members and others who have trained their dogs (and other pets) to do Animal Assisted Therapy.  Our therapy animals are certified by an evaluator from the Delta Society after undergoing a stringent temperament test and a CGC test.

Currently, we make visitations to St. Anthony's St. Mary's and Broadway Methodist Hospitals, SELF School in Valparaiso and Whispering Pines in Valparaiso.  

H.O.P.E. meets the 3rd Tuesday evening of each month at Whispering Pines Retirement Center in Valparaiso, where the animals become acquainted with wheelchairs, walkers and other hospital equipment.  

The next meeting is Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 at 7:30pm.   Meetings are held at  Whispering Pines, 3301 Calumet Ave., Valparaiso
