Community Outreach - Rich's Gift Canine Good Citizen Training Fall 2026

Made possible by the estate of Rich Arimoto and the efforts of our volunteer-led Pet Outreach program. SFAS' own Barbara Leighnor is the facilitator. 

Eight Thursdays starting September 17, plus two weeks of testing. (Rich's trusted therapy dog, Ffion, will be a special guest.)

Registration is $75, refundable for new pet therapy dog-and-human teams who go on to serve with the Santa Fe Animal Shelter's Pet Outreach program.

Prerequisite: Ability to reliably cue "sit" and "down." Dogs will also be working in close proximity to other dogs and people. 

Click the red "sign up" box below and we'll hold your place in the class. (You may need to register as a volunteer first.)

Contact Sue and Lisa at petoutreach@sfhumanesociety.org to confirm your signup and payment and for more info.
