Role of CRTASA

My photo
Canadian Registry of Therapy Animal & Service Animals (CRTASA) is a centralized registry operating in Canada & US since 2010. It registers service & therapy animals and extends annual memberships to verified applicants that also receive a valid CRTASA Photo ID Card to readily confirm their rightful ownership of their official animal to a place of business. Service animals registered by CRTASA include guide dogs and other trained species (eg. helper monkeys, miniature seeing guide horses, etc..) CRTASA does not certify service animals - it only registers those already officially trained/certified to assist their owner with a disability. The standardized CRTASA Photo ID Card alleviates past confusion that variety of ID Cards (issued by different states, provinces and training facilities) posed for businesses across North America - many of whom were unfamiliar with the issuing body. CRTASA members also benefit from point of purchase discounts on animal products/services extended by participating CRTASA corporate fellows.

Texas County Employs its Very First Therapy Dog to Console Victimized Children


Macy is a Golden Retriever and Lab cross that is now a full time employee at the Smith County District Attorney's Office in Texas. She is their first full time Therapy Animal that received $50,000 worth of training through an organization called the Canine Companions for Independence.

Macy specializes in consoling abused children as they journey through the court process. Since eight weeks old, Macy has learned more than 40 tricks. Macy's soothing skills will play a huge role in helping prosecutors put away people who commit crimes against children.
