Services are free to individuals and organizations. Founded in 2005, Roxy™ Therapy Dogs is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our five programs provide an irreplaceable and dependable support system for children in the Central Bucks County, Pennsylvania community. Our trained and certified therapy dogs deliver self-esteem, relief from anxiety and fear, and a sense of well-being.
