Angela (Angie) Holland-Tancos
Angels in the Innfield, LLP., Founder
After a life-changing car accident resulted in a long recovery, Angie's family decided to adopt a dog in hopes of raising her spirits. Sophie, a Labrador/Beagle mix, not only motivated her physically, but she also reignited her long-lost passion of working with animals.
In 2013, Angie graduated from the National K-9 School for Dog Training, but she didn't stop there. She continued her training and is now a certified member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). She is a volunteer dog-training associate for the Cleveland Animal Protective League (Cleveland APL). Furthermore, she is the recipient of multiple certificates from the
Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). In her free time, Angie is also a proud volunteer of Pilot Dogs Inc., which is dedicated to training dogs for the blind.
Therapy Dogs International
Therapy Dogs International (TDI®) is a volunteer organization dedicated to regulating, testing and registration of
therapy dogs and their volunteer handlers for the purpose of visiting nursing homes, hospitals, other institutions and wherever else therapy dogs are needed.
To belong to Therapy Dogs International (TDI®) all dogs must be tested and evaluated by a Certified TDI Evaluator.
A dog must be a minimum of one (1) year of age and have a sound temperament. Each dog must pass a TDI temperament evaluation for suitability to become a Therapy Dog. The test will also include the evaluation of the dog’s behavior around people with the use of some type of service equipment
(wheelchairs, crutches, etc.).
