Membership Levels

All memberships are from July 1 to June 30th. Membership dues for members joining between January 1 and June 30 are one-half of the yearly dues.

Becoming actively involved does not require that 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.

Membership Application in PDF format

Registration Evaluations are offered several times a year.

Please contact Beth Hajek for current evaluation schedule.

Almost any type of animal can provide AAA / AAT when trained properly. Each evaluating program has their own requirements and restrictions. TOJ evaluators conduct evaluations for dogs, cats and rabbits.
