Court Dogs Victoria is a Non for Profit Organisation which will place highly trained Trauma Support Dogs into areas of the Legal and Justice Profession and agencies working with people suffering grief and trauma, through violent crimes.

Each dog takes up to two years to train to the level required to work within agencies. And cost $30,000 dollars each. Each dog will be available to help hundreds of people each year, including our most vulnerable children, with their unconditional love and support.

"Coop" was a three year old black Labrador, trained from eight weeks of age to become the first dog allowed into Australian courts to assist and support many different people. She began her early working career at Goulburn Valley Centre against Sexual Assault in Shepparton.
