PPNC New School Application Form
Thank you for your interest in partnering with PetPalsNC (PPNC) to establish a therapy dog program for your school. PPNC is a nonprofit organization that promotes and supports pet-assisted therapy and activities for K-12 students to enhance academic, social, emotional, and behavioral growth. Our services are free of charge for public schools in the Greater Triangle area of North Carolina.
The first step in initiating a partnership with PPNC is to complete the following application. This application is designed to help us better understand the aspirational goals of your therapy dog program and to support you in achieving those goals.
Once your application has been received and reviewed, you will be contacted by a PetPalsNC team member to discuss next steps. This process typically takes 1-2 weeks. Please understand that an application does not guarantee a therapy dog team for the school. Assignments are contingent upon the availability of a team that is within a reasonable driving distance with a dog that is appropriate for the target population (grade levels, special needs, etc.).
