Touch Our Pets – Therapy Dogs – Known as TOP Dogs - was started by eight dedicated Therapy Dog handlers, and their pets, in August 2008.

Our motto is – TOP Dogs spread smiles for miles – this is being achieved, on a regular basis, with visits from our friendly non-threatening dogs, to many local venues.

Our main priorities, before visits could commence, were to have Public Liability Insurance cover in the name of TOP Dogs, and have all the requirements of a Non Profit Organisation in place. We therefore have:

• A governing board – with meetings and recorded minutes

• A legal constitution – setting out all the required obligations

• A bank account in the name of TOP Dogs

• Public Liability Insurance cover in the name of TOP Dogs

• Non Profit status (registration number 074-086 NPO)

Our Board Members are as follows:

• Angie Thornton – President

• Stevie Ancient – Vice President

• Doly Stiff – Treasurer

• Kathy Webb – Administrator

• Other portfolios are covered by: Jenny Marett, Linda Gosnell, Sarah van der Molen, Jan Ebersohn and Bronwen Coghill
