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.
