Membership Levels

There are four membership levels. All memberships are from July 1 to June 30th.

Becoming actively involved does not require you have a purebred companion animal or an animal of a specific size. We try not to place any time constraints on our members and ask only that you spend a couple of hours each month providing AAA / AAT.

Pet Partners Evaluations are offered several times a year.

Almost any type of animal can provide AAA / AAT when trained properly.

Please contact Terri Carpenter for current evaluation schedule.

Full Membership	$30.00
Any member who is TDI or Delta registered and has been visiting a facility with his or her companion animal.
Associate Membership	$25.00
Any member who is not yet TDI or Delta registered, is part of the mentoring program and/or enrolled in TOJ training program.
Family Membership	$35.00
Two or more members in the same family. Children must be between 12 and 17 years old.
Supporting Membership	No Dues
A member who provides a service but is not involved in providing AAA / AAT with a companion animal.
