Any Green Mountain Therapy Doodles out there?

I'm planning to bring my doodle to the next puppy-class they offer, it sounds like a really great way to give something back to the community!

"Therapy Dogs of Vermont (TDV) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization of highly-trained dogs and their handlers. Our handler/canine teams work on the emotional health of hospital patients, students in educational institutions, and residents of nursing/retirement homes and correctional facilities.
TDV is always looking for new volunteers to join our teams for regularly scheduled visits. By having a broad membership base, TDV is able to provide various benefits to patients and residents based on their needs and desires. Therapy Dogs come in all sizes; they are old, young, purebred and mixed. Some wear costumes, some do tricks, some just sit for petting, and others give enthusiastic kisses. Along with their handlers, they bring smiles to the elderly, they chase away tears of the toddler, and they bring a sense of the outside world into often sterile and cold institutions."
